Electric Sitar
I don't this belongs in the Guitar Forum, so I'm posting this here.
I'm looking for an electric sitar. I try searches and I get either hiring services or reviews on psychedelic indie music.
Anyone know where the fuck I can find one?

Haha.
Good idea.
I'll go travel to the Himalayas or something, seek out the Sitar Sage and become his protege then graduate when I'm 64 years old. |

If that even exists it would probably cost quite a bit. I would go with the synth/effect idea... well the sage idea is pretty good too

Yeah, I perhaps will either go with the synth idea.
The one Matterthief posted looks a bit flawed in design, and I forgot to mention I'm left-handed and very much a lefty purist. Perhaps I'll need to go custom if I want a lefty electro-sitar.
I wonder if Dariusz has been to see the Sage? 
...Unless someone knows where I can get a lefty sitar from.  |

If you're hoping for a 'traditional' sitar (big long neck, bowl body at the end), with pickups, then you'll be disappointed- that design Mattertheif showed is how an electric sitar is, im sure you could find a lefty version though!

I was very bemused as a youngster watching the Golden Girls when Blanche said she was going to "spank her fanny" I had visions of a geriatric vertical bacon sandwich red and bruised from being disciplined!!!

Yeah, I'm not really looking into an original acoustic sitar, just that unique Eastern twang. I would actaully prefer electric, because then I can amplify it without funny positioned mics. I could get up and walk around with it if I was playing it live, which would be likely. If I ever get hold of one, I'll probably write songs where I just play sitar and my co-guitarist just plays normal electric. |

I've seen traditional sitar's with a pickup attached. And if all else fails, mic it up.
