I am luck enough to actually have two Jerry Jones Master Sitars in my collection. The sympathetic strings have their own pickup with volume and tone control, so they can be also be turned off if desired. The 13 sympathetic strings can be tuned in a variety of ways and can be played as accompaniment.
Jerry Jones precision made sitar Buzz bridge produces that now familiar whirring sound and provides for accurate string intonation. Jerry Jones Master Electric Sitar is a refined reissue of the Coral Sitar and allows you to feel like you have returned to early psychedelic ’60s. The Coral Sitar reissue, the Jerry Jones Master Sitar has a hollow body, therefore has a percussive tone when the strings are picked. The Jerry Jones Baby sitar is a smaller solid body instrument. Jerry Jones reissues are a good choice for this reason. Many of these are not always in the best condition at this point. Original Coral Sitars are pretty pricey in the vintage market and quite collectable for their uniqueness and history. The Coral Sitar has been used on countless hits. In 1967, after MCA purchased Danelectro, the Vincent Bell Coral Sitar was released to the world. The Beatles Norwegian Wood and the Stones Paint It Black first made many westerners hear what a sitar can add to popular music.

We can thank George Harrison and the Beatles plus Brain Jones and the Rolling Stones for starting the “raga-rock” sound when they played real acoustic sitars on their early 1960s recordings. It utilizes a “buzz” bridge that was innovated to give its signature sound on the regular 6-strings that are tuned standard (or drop-D). Vinny Bell wanted an instrument that could sound like a sitar that could be used in pop music and played by any guitar player. The first electric Sitar was meant to imitate a real acoustic sitar that is extremely hard to learn to play. Jerry Jones built several versions of the electric sitar that was originally an invention of studio guitarist, Vincent Bell who worked closely with Nathan Daniel at Danelectro. The Jerry Jones instruments are a step above the Danelectro instruments in quality and are have now become quite collectable. As of April 2011, Jerry Jones retired and closed down his Nashville factory. In 1991, Jerry Jones even visited the Nathan Daniel founder of Danelectro, who was living in Hawaii building sail boats at the time.
From that point, Jerry began building high quality reproductions of the original Danelectro designs. Early Danelectro guitars were made in New Jersey. He liked the unpretentious simplicity of the Nathan Daniel’s Danelectro instruments. After some Danelectro guitars came in for repair, Jerry started thinking that the Danelectro guitar was what he would build for himself. Jerry Jones built quality guitars in Nashville, Tennessee since the 1980s. Many guitarists have never seen an electric sitar in the flesh.
