What is the difference between a Diddley bow and a 1-string guitar?
(From Ratel's FAQ)

So is a diddley bow a (usually wall-mounted) one-string fretless guitar played with a slide ?
? No. It's close, there are many "hybrids" among the later known examples, and the players themselves were the first to compare it with a guitar or a banjo, but there are two major differences:
First, the sounding board runs along the whole of the string, while a guitar's just at the sounded half : a guitar's meant, among other things, to avoid harmonics from the upper side, above where the player stops the string, and pretend the string actually stops there; a diddley bow's meant to sound these harmonics, providing an eery counter-melody when played by a master.
Second, the string is bridged much higher than a guitars', enabling you to hold a finger below it, available to pinch the sound off, or sometimes otherwise manipulate the string. This also means that you rarely if ever stop it against the board (so the sound waves propagate easier on the other side of your slide, hence the counter-melody). And the string has lot of room to vibrate, too.
