The sitar made its way into rock music when The Beatles sought new inspiration during their trip to India. For the Woodstock generation, the buzzing, hypnotic sound was the perfect fit, and the 'coral sitar' became the instrument of the moment, offering a much more manageable alternative to the traditional sitar. Its guitar-like fretting made it considerably easier to play, too! The Danelectro Sitar brings the flower power sound back to life, with buzzing tones, including the essential 'drone' strings. This reissue stays true to the original, delivering strong, characterful sounds. A unique feature of the electric sitar is the 13 unfretted yet resonating drone strings, which significantly shape the instrument's distinctive, subliminal sound. The six main strings and the drone strings offer limitless tuning possibilities.
