A Bridge Instrument Between Guitar and Sitar Tone

This small sitar in guitar format is aimed at musicians who want to capture the characteristic grain and vibration of the sitar without changing their guitar playing habits. Its round body format and "Thermometer" headstock give it a distinctive visual identity, while its simple configuration (one pickup, two controls) goes straight to the point to focus on playing and expressiveness.

For Whom, and For Which Styles?

Thanks to its 6 strings tuned like a guitar and comfortable scale length, this instrument is accessible as soon as you master the basics. It is especially suitable for beginner to intermediate guitarists seeking an original tone to enrich their arrangements. Ideal for rock, pop, psychedelic, cinematic atmospheres, and all "world" textures where a vibrant and atypical timbre is desired.

Sound Characteristics

The sonic personality primarily comes from the Gotoh Sitar bridge, which delivers a sharp attack and the slight typical buzz, very effective on riffs, drones, and repeated patterns. The Lipstick single-coil pickup favors a clear, precise, and dynamic reproduction, perfect for highlighting the snap of the attack and harmonics. The volume and tone controls allow you to go from a bright and cutting sound to a softer color, ideal for pads and accompaniments.
