What makes this guitar special:  All original & rare Coral Sitar made in USA.  This Vincent Bell signature design electric sitar features a total of 19 strings - the basic six like an electric guitar plus 13 drone strings, making it the 3S19 model, which were only produced between 1967 & '69.  These don't come by very often, so it's really exciting to have one in the shop!  Professionally inspected & set up by the experts at Cream City Music, so it's ready for action straight out of the case.Cosmetic Condition:  Good honest play wear - various nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches, weather checking & quite a bit of finish wear along the edges of the body.  There's an extra screw hole on the bass-side of the body from a previous strap button.  Overall the instrument looks great with a beautiful patina.Neck:  Nicely rounded, bolt-on neck with rosewood fingerboard & white dot inlays.  Frets are in great shape with hardly any wear.  Kluson Deluxe tuners are in perfect working condition.  Danelectro Pat Pend decal on the back of the headstock.  1 3/4" brass nut.  Neck is straight & plays great up & down the fretboard.Body:  Teardrop shape wooden body with treble horn in Textured Bombay Red finish.  Six strings with “Sitarmatic” bridge.  13 drone strings with two rosewood bridges & metal saddles along with metal friction pegs designed to be tuned with a harp-style wrench.  Clear plexi pickguards with Vincent Bell Signature Design logo.  Sitar weighs 7 lbs 12.6 oz.Pickups:  Three “lipstick tube” pickups (two for the played strings, one for the drones).  Three volume knobs & three tone knobs.  All electronics are in good working condition.Case:  Original hardshell case included.  The case is in pretty rough shape with the two outside clasps missing, but for the most part serves its purpose well.
