elsi electric Sitar

Our elsi is the latest member in our instrument family. Although is reminds us of older original instruments it offers state of the art in the technical point of view. One of the main features is our brand new sitar bridge. It produces authentical sitar sounds together with perfect intonation.

elsi has 6 main strings and 12 resonance strings which can easily be tuned with a screwdriver. The main strings are tuned with ABM tuners designed for headless instruments.

The through neck is made of maple and padouk with an ebony fretboard.

For weight reasons the acrylic body is routed, sanded and polished.

elsi comes equipped with 3 lipstick pickups by Seymour Duncan, one volume and one tone control for each set of strings and a pickup-selector.
