FAQ) About Sitar Express
About Sitar Express for acoustic guitar (new model)
Q. Do you have any tips for making a sitar-like sound?
First, aim for the perfect position to touch the strings or not.
When using the Sitar Express, new strings will have more overtones and will produce a sitar-like sound.
Also, using thinner gauge bronze strings tends to emphasize overtones.
Q. Can it be attached to a gut guitar?
Although the tone is different compared to steel strings, it can be used with any instrument that meets the requirements.
Q. What kind of phrases do you enjoy playing more?
You can easily create an oriental sound by using open tuning such as DADGAD.
If you fix the bass and play with the melody on the high side, you can trip well.
For reference, I have uploaded the tablature of the song played in the video, so please download it from the link below.
Q. Can the putty be used repeatedly?
Putty can be reused over and over again.
In addition, the amount of putty included is set to be larger than the amount for one-time use.
In addition, when removing the Sitar Express from the guitar, the putty can be removed cleanly.

Q. Do you have any tips for setting?
First of all, please aim for the perfect position to touch or not touch the strings.
When raising or lowering the string height in the final adjustment, it is a good idea to be conscious of "start boldly and gradually finely".
First, look for the point where the overtone is produced when you touch it delicately when you pluck the string.
Also, it is more effective to install it near the bridge as much as possible.
Q. Can it be used for Floyd Rose type bridges?
Since the materials and shapes of bridges vary, it is not possible to give a general answer.
Please make your own judgment based on conditions such as height.
Q. Which type is better for a two-point support bridge?
In general, I think that the ST type is good.
However, there are cases where the position of the screw is special, so please check the conditions yourself.
