This small sitar with a round body features an ergonomics close to the guitar, while integrating sitar-typical elements such as the Gotoh Sitar bridge. The result: a unique instrument designed to provide an immediately recognizable color without requiring learning a completely new tuning or technique. Its "Thermometer" headstock and Red Crackle finish reinforce its visual identity, blending vintage and sonic exoticism.
Thanks to its 6 strings tuned like a guitar, this model is aimed at beginner to intermediate guitarists who want to expand their sonic palette, as well as experienced musicians seeking new textures in the studio. It excels in psychedelic, cinematic, indie, world styles, and certain rock and blues leads when looking for a more "nasal" and singing timbre. The volume and tone controls allow quick shifts from a brighter, sharper sound to a softer, more muffled color.
The sonic character of this instrument relies on the combination of the Lipstick-style single-coil pickup and the Gotoh Sitar bridge. The single-coil pickup delivers a clear attack, good definition, and a present high end, highlighting pick nuances and melodic phrases. The sitar-typical bridge influences string response and promotes a more "buzzing" and textured signature, ideal for drones, repetitive patterns, and lead parts that need to stand out in a mix. With the tone control, you can soften the treble for a rounder output or keep brightness to accentuate the percussive and shimmering side.
