Hello! We’re aware of no instances of this happening. This is probably because the curved body of the Starcaster makes it significantly easier to bow single strings. Bowing the low E-string on a Tele is doable, but the high E-string isn’t really feasible. A Telecaster is ok if you’re bowing all of the strings at once for noisy, distorted sounds (as Jónsi sometimes does, although he mainly bows specific melodies on the low-E string – which is where Jonny undoubtedly got it from, since Radiohead asked Sigur Rós to open for them long before Jonny started bowing on Pyramid Song), but it’s really one of the worst guitars for bowing. Though, of course, it doesn’t hurt that the Starcaster has f-holes.
