Sedgwick Sitar Guitar & Sympathetic Strings
I have always loved the 'Eastern' mysticism and esoteric sounds.
The most popular and recognizable Eastern sound comes from
the Indian instrument the Sitar, which has a soft droning buzz
effect. The instrument I have made is no way a replacement of
the sitar, but a guitar that sounds like a sitar. What makes the
Sedgwick instrument more amazing is that it can be set up in
different ways. From a full buzzing sitar guitar to a regular guitar
or something in between. This makes the whole instrument
much more versatile.
This instrument is a Sedgwick model with a few extras that
include Paua Abalone rosette, Koa Bindings and a cutaway. The
metal bridge pins are by Goulding Guitars and this guitar also
has a custom stereo K&K pickup.

There are 3 ways the guitar section can be set up.
•
You can have the Indian style saddle covering all 6 strings
•
You can have the Indian style saddle for the 1st and 2nd string. A regular bone saddle goes
under the lower 4 strings. This gives a wonderful blend of East meets West.
•
Have a regular guitar saddle.
A couple of advantages with this kind of instrument has is that you can use many more open
tunings than a sitar and you can also use a capo. There is also the possibility of exploring some
Indian slide guitar music.
