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.

Damn, I really wanted to hear the solo from “Do It Again”

It would be super dope if someone wired in two outputs so you could run different effects on both sets of strings for some awesome fill or pads

Loved the little jam at the end. Lovely little piece :)

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!

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.

@FacePomagranate

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.

Speaking of weird guitars, Eastwood makes a solid body electric Mandocello that I've always wanted to try out. I'm not sure if you've ever played anything in the Mando family of instruments, but Eastwood has been making some unique electric mandolin variations for a few years, as well as a selection of tenor guitars. It would be interesting to see you try one out.

Harley Benton also make electric solid body mandolins, they look like diddy little telecasters, they're so _CUTE_ I really want one because it'd be so interesting to see what you could do with them cos you can plug them into any amp and any effect, so it's interesting to me to wonder what a mandolin would sound like through say a tubescreamer, or a DS1. And it'd be very fun to use for songwriting. Any new different instrument gives you instant creativity because you don't just fall back into the same habits of notes and chords you play. I feel like it'd be fun to write led zeppelin style songs with an electric mandolin like that. Also they're only about £100 so it's worth a punt, it's cheap enough to just mess around with for the fun of it.

There was one in a local music store for years and years, covered with much dust, until it finally disappeared into that great electric sitar home in the sky...I guess.

Awesome vid!!

Invented by Vinnie Bell - he was a studio musician and played on ton of super famous records (like Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel, and some Bob Dylan stuff) I went to estate sale in his house, his whole guitar collection was on sale, including few of these. Ended up buying a pedal and few reels of 8mm home movies of his travels in the 50s with different bands
