Use a vibrator as a slide or even a bridge.
Yeah, Have him explain that one at a gig
Heh, that would depend on the bar: in some joints, that would be a real crowd pleaser.
It doesn't have to be that huge thing your wife keeps hidden in the bottom drawer. I found a small vibrator not even as big as a lap steel to see how it would excite the strings. It didn't really work well as a bridge but as a slide it can really produce some nice ghost tones. If it's placed near the magnetic pickup it generates feedback which is easily controlled.
Don't laugh...

How about a paint lid with some sort of drum snare or tinsle type material mounted inside the box under the bridge.
Or a small drum head from a bongo with something to rattle on it. I'd love to hear it when you figure it out.
Thanks. I'll let you know if I decide how to do this.

yea but I wonder if that will only make it buzz and rattle more than distort. there's lots of ways to make it buzz, like using a shorter, metal bridge. but to actually get distortion i think it will take more than a snare like set up and closer to what Wes Yates said. I would take a look at that stuff to really get a cool effect.
