Anyone know if there is one of these in town???

Vinnie Bell Coral Sitar.
1967-1969: about the coolest guitar Danelectro ever produced. Has 13 drone strings that move from the vibration of the usual 6 strings. Three pickups, 2 for the 6 stings and 1 for the drone strings. Crinkle burgundy finish, 3 point body shape. Has a "buzz" bridge which similate the sitar sound. The resonation from the buzz bridge vibrates the top of the body and the drone strings. Clear pickguards protecting the drone strings and Vinnie's name on the lower 6 string clear pickguard. Body is made entirely from Poplar, with a semi-hollow construction. - Tue, 21 Jun 2005 10:35pm

I don't know of one in town, but I'm sure there's more than one Jerry Jones Sitar (high quality replica, better than the original) at Avenue Guitars in Edmitten...

got it from a dealer in Conn. I got a black one - amazing instrument - have hardly had a chance to play it but I have experimented with recording it (lots of nice deep vibrato and some delay really does fun things to this sound) - check out some of these reviews http://www.harmony-central.com/Guitar/Data4/Jerry_Jones/Electric_Sitar-1.html
- I bought this for the recording my cd which will be finished and released this fall sometime - I will try to put a demo online so you can hear some examples of what this instrument can do even in a demo studio situation - Tue, 2 Aug 2005 11:40pm
