Jerry Jones Electric Master Sitar Green Crackle w/Case (2003)  - Used

Type: Used
Condition: Excellent

2003 Jerry Jones Electric Master Sitar, Green Crackle Finish.  Includes Case.

Modeled after the original ’60s Vincent Bell Coral Sitar built by Danelectro, the Jerry Jones Master Sitar is constructed like most of the Jerry Jones’ guitars (and original Danelectro) with a poplar wood frame sandwiched between two pieces of Masonite, leaving a hollow chamber. It has a 25-inch scale, maple neck with a pretty flat 14 1/2-inch radius, Indian rosewood fingerboard, six-on-a-side Gotoh tuners, 21 medium jumbo frets, and an intonated “buzz bridge.”

Jerry Jones uses his own lipstick pickups for the Master Sitar – two for the main sitar (6 strings), one for the 13-string sympathetic harp that can be tuned to any key or scale – each with its own volume and tone control. The finish is a very cool green “gator” crackle, along with the etched plexiglass pickguard and tailpiece cover, complete the instrument’s very psychedelic look. The smooth satin-finished neck and low action make it a breeze to play. Like all of the Jerry Jones’ instruments it is notches above the vintage ones. Probably the best quality electric Sitar you can buy.

It should be pointed out that electric sitars are not an actual sitar. It is simply a standard 6-string guitar with a innovative buzz bridge (plus some have sympathetic strings like a harp guitar). It is not tuned the same as a real acoustic sitar, it’s not intoned the same, it doesn’t feel, play or sound the same as an Indian sitar. It does allow musicians that are comfortable playing the standard “spanish-style” guitar to get those buzzy “trippy” 60’s sounds.
