FAQ) About Sitar Express
About Sitar Express for Acoustic Guitar
Q. Do you have any tips for making a sitar-like sound?
First of all, please aim for the perfect position to touch or not touch the strings.
When using a Sitar Express, the new strings will have more overtones and will sound more like a sitar.
If the top is too high during adjustment, play may occur, but if you are concerned about it, fix it with putty. In addition, if the string height or nut is high, or if the neck is strongly warped, it may be difficult to adjust.
Bronze strings tend to emphasize overtones.
Q. Can it be attached to a gut guitar?
Sitar Express can be used with instruments that meet the compatibility requirements.
However, plain strings (strings 1 to 3) have a nylon surface, so overtones are not emphasized that much.
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. 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.
