Thanks. Very informative video. This Dano has provided the signature sound for many of my favorite records (Everytime You Go Away, Signed, Sealed Delivered, Games People Play, Monterey, Hooked On A Feeling, Green Tambourine, Cry Like A Baby, Turn Down Day, Do It Again, Come And Get Your Love, Don't Come Around Here No More) For decades I've been thinking about buying one of these AND for the same period of time I thought the instrument generated its sitar sound from the sympathetic strings. Your excellent demo video shows conclusively that it's the "buzz" bridge that provides the sitar sound and NOT the extra strings. Your video makes a great case for bypassing this Electric Sitar and going directly to Danelectro's Baby Sitar.

Very interesting. Do the sympathetic strings actually activate sympathetically or is there not enough resonance to have them activate without plucking them? I also wish the made the bridge adjustable to let you get different sitar sounds - how the bridge is shaped affects how open or buzzy it is on a sitar and if they made it adjustable then you could probably approximate more than on sitar sound. Very cool nonetheless.

They resonate a bit - in my experience it just sounds like a weak reverb. It's the same sort of effect you get from playing a note with the same pitch as an open string without muting. You're better off keeping them muted except for a special effect. The bridge is adjustable; you can change the angle of it to get less buzz - of course there's a tedious balancing act of getting the right tone and good intonation.

EYB makes a sitar bridge, in T,S and LP versions, which does offer all the usual set up options. I've had one on a tele for ages, and at least the old version (they now offer a 2.0 one) was compatible with normal bridge parts, so you could go normal guitar for the low strings and sitar for the high strings.

I remember seeing this on Musician's Friend (iirc), and thought it was totally boss. The sympathetic strings would be a lot of fun to derp around with. I'd definitely get some good use out of it, but I'd have to buy it on credit, and I'm not sure I'd use it often enough to justify the expense. I'm not even sure I could really justify shelling out for the baby sitar, tbh. Sometimes I really hate being broke. :(

Earliest metal use of one of these would have been on Van Halen's "Ain't talking 'Bout love" where Eddie used one to double his solo. Both the sound of his Frankenstrat and the Coral Sitar were recorded at the same volume level, so the sound isn't exactly buried in the mix.

Vinnie Bell invented the sitar for Coral/Danelectro. Great guitarplayer also, in the 60's. Forgotten maybe , but not by me. Cheers Vinnie ,where ever you are.

The sympathetic strings are supposed to drone while you play. The vibration of the main strings and the guitar's body are supposed to make the sympathetic strings play, but it doesn't work too well on the Dano.

The electric sitar has also been used prominently in old school R&B. Legendary R&B/Soul producer Thom Bell used an electric sitar in many of his songs, particularly the Stylistics songs of the early 70s. Here's the classic hit "You Are Everything," with the sitar featured prominently right at the intro: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bITXgIWehZyhaMU&ab_channel=TheStylistics Here's another Thom Bell confection. This one is from the early 80s, an R&B Quiet Storm classic by the great Deniece Williams. (The sitar comes in @ :16) kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4PKo6tuqbNrbbs&ab_channel=DenieceWilliams-Topic

There's some old videos from a guitarist Rob Mastrianni (kzbin.infovideos) where he absolutely slays an electric sitar and it's outstanding! That said there's several pop records that used the instrument as a great hook; Memphis legendary guitarist Reggie Young is responsible for several including BJ Thomas' "Hooked On A Feeling" (the original!), The Box Tops "Cry Like A Baby" and an album track from The King, Elvis' "Stranger In My Own Hometown". Buzz on!

That was absolutely unreal & I am completely impressed. I mean of course I am impressed, as always, with your talent and content but I am grooving hard with that instruments sound. I can’t say that I have much appreciation for the traditional sitar’s sounds but this is fantastic! Thank you for sharing this with us. All the best to you and yours!

Beautiful! The Samuraisitarguitar. I always wanted one of these (being a Vinnie Bell fan). Try playing the 6-strings with the pickups at zero and the let the sympathetic strings ring.

Unknown mortal orchestra uses this on a TON of their songs. Ppl tend to “one trick pony” these, yet you can get unique sounds that tend to not sound like a sitar nor like a guitar. Check out “multi love” for a good example.

That was awesome, I'd love one. I like the Metallica mention, I imagine that's in the intro of Wherever I May Roam? Also unsure if it has been mentioned before as I am new to your channel (loving it) but is that an awesome steampunk looking amp in the background?

I was going to answer the question in the video title but, I have a better one instead: Q: What instrument has any number of strings but, doesn't Djent? A: A good one 1:46 I want to hear that chord progression on its own. It reminds me of Ben E. King "Stand By Me" I liked the outro piece. The high string notes kinda sounded like the upper end of a piano

For some reason, that ragtime piece reminded me of Mario. My uncle actually passed away last year, and he had a bit of a guitar collection which I inherited. Two of the guitars were electric sitars just like that, but from the company Rogue. I didn't know anybody else made them.

I remember learning to count music in Indian, the Ravi Shankar red dot kind. Western music and Indian music are approached very, very differently. It really is much easier to grab a handful of guitar and just rip the knobs off. It's pure emotion. Sitar requires something of a much higher level or you have to grow up with it, or both.

I've got one of these and ironically I think it works better for fingerpicking things than for sitar-esque leads. I just mute and ignore the harp strings most of the time - they really don't contribute to the sitar tone anyways.
