We have a very unique and interesting players guitar/sitar here for sale. Made by Jerry Jones out of Nashville TN, good ole Music City USA! This particular model... the Master Electric Sitar is Jerry's take on Nathan Daniel's (of Danelectro) Vincent Bell model guitar/sitar. One glance comparing the two side side and there is definitely a major resemblance. Jerry was very inspired by Nathan's creation, and even met him at his house in Hawaii to pick his brain about this guitar/sitar. Modeled after the original ’60s Vincent Bell Coral Sitar built by Danelectro, the Jerry Jones sitar is constructed like most of Jones’ guitars – with a poplar wood frame sandwiched between two pieces of Masonite, leaving a hollow chamber. It has a 25″-scale maple neck with flat 141/2″-radius Indian rosewood fingerboard, six-on-a-side Gotoh tuners, 21 medium jumbo frets, and an intonated “buzz bridge.”
Electronics-wise, Jones keeps it close to the cuff, employing his own lipstick pickups ‚Äì two for the sitar, one for the 13-string sympathetic harp that can be tuned to any key or scale ‚Äì each with its own volume and tone control. The cool red ‚Äúgator‚Äù finish, along with the clear plexiglass pickguard and tailpiece cover, complete the instrument‚Äôs very psychedelic look. The smooth satin-finished neck and low action make it a breeze to play. In terms of quality of construction, Jones‚Äô instruments are certainly a couple notches above the vintage ones. This particular sitar was built some time between mid 1990 to mid 1993 ....as indicated by the black and silver label on the lower back of the headstock and the SN on this is #0885. Before mid 1990 the SN was hand written in black ink, and after mid 1993 the SN # was moved to a white label placed underneath the access panel on the rear of the guitar. Purchase includes a nice hard shell case, that is non original as the original hard shells were made by G & G. ‚Ä®‚Ä®‚Ä®Partial shipping costs are refunded in the event our estimated shipping cost is over what it actually costs to ship to you.
