Answers:
One of the first 20th century guitarists to use a bow was Eddie Phillips. His bowed guitar can be heard on The Creation's "Making Time". The bowed guitar is most famously used by Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin and The Yardbirds. Examples of Page playing a bowed guitar can be found on "Dazed and Confused" and "How Many More Times" (both of which are from the album Led Zeppelin). It is also used extensively by Jón Þór Birgisson, the vocalist and guitarist for the Icelandic Post-Rock band Sigur Rós. Jeff Martin of the Canadian rock band The Tea Party plays a bow guitar on some of his earlier songs such as "Save Me", from the album Splendor Solis.
While not a bowed guitar, Pink Floyd's Roger Waters used a bowed bass guitar on the songs "Lucifer Sam" and "The Scarecrow".
