Frequently Asked Questions
It's a subtle approximation; the sympathetic resonance is present, but it lacks the complexity and depth of a true sitar or a sophisticated pedal.
The neck is fairly standard for a vintage-inspired electric, but the Pau Ferro fingerboard can feel a little drier than rosewood, so it's worth trying before buying if you have very large hands.
It's warmer and more muted than the typical bright, twangy Danelectro; the MDF body contributes to a more mellow, resonant low-end.
