For $300, it's almost worth picking up just for the sake of curiosity alone.

Fugly... but very interesting.

Again, further evidence that many of the people on this board have zero knowledge of anything prior to 1983.

Those things have been around since the '60s. But a cheap Asian knock-off for $300? That could be fun. But it also has a tentency to get overused. I strongly disliked Vai's practice of layering electric sitar under almost anything clean he played back in the late '90s.

Yeah, I've eyeballed one of those a few times in the last couple of months. Wonder what it would be like with a bunch of effects and feeding back. But at the same time if I were to try sitar I think the traditional one looks pretty cool.

I think Jerry Jones first made them in the 60's...

I've always wanted to get one of these to noodle around on, but getting an electric sitar that's a bit more authentic would definitely be cooler:

This is an almost identical copy of the Coral Electric Sitar, which was quite popular in the late 60's - 70's, with Danelectro lipstick pickups and a really odd, crinkled finish. I've played a couple of old ones, and they really sound good. Lots of fun, but the novelty wears thin fast.
