TheElectric Fusion Sitar, by G Rosul, has a fine guitar shape with 11 Sympathetic strings and 7 Main strings and a standard 1-4 inch jack. Great electric sitar sound for any fusion band.
Easier to transport to gigs than a traditional sitar. The sympathetic strings are tuned with traditional sitar pegs. The 7 main strings are tuned with guitar style geared tuning pegs for ease of tuning and to give this instrument a stream-line look. The neck is outlined with faux mother of pearl inlay and inlay accents. Actual colors and pattern of decorations may vary form the photo.
There are 20 brass frets. Made in Mumbai, India, this sitar measures 51 inches long, 13.5 inches wide. Includes extra string set, mizrabs, information and tuning guide, and hard case. Case included measuring 53 X 15.5 X 4.5.

hey, i am in love with sitar music and loved to know more about itl!! it reminded me of music i’d heard earlier last week by Ananda Shankar, he is one of my favourite musicians and his funk input on the sitar is inspirational! the fact that he is coming out with a new cd in august is so exciting but i thought you might like to see a preview i found on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbqoGgzN5OE
