Naeem Sitarmaker electric studio sitar ~ gandhar pancham (Vilayat Khan style) setting.

6 main strings ~ 11 sympathetics ~ Full decoration

This is now an archive page: Unfortunately I've had to discontinue carrying instruments from Naeem Sitarmaker. Left here for your viewing, if you see a design you like it's easily made by one of our newer makers, just let me know!

This beautiful sitar features a solid mahogany tumba and extensive carvings, beatiful penwork etched over faux mother of pearl and ebony bridges with double cut slots for 1st and 2nd strings. Well made geared tuners for the main strings and hardwood sympathetic pegs. .... the headstock is designed for ease of tuning. Has a sturdy jack with built in transducer which we can upgrade per your requirements to a high end transducer or humbucker, etc. with steel string retrofit. Comes with a fiberglass flight case.  Has a half open jawari, nice resonance from the sympathetics and excellent fitting all around. Acoustic or electric, this instrument sounds great either way!

Naeem comes from the oldest family of instrument makers in Miraj and makes a wide variety of instruments, we work with him closely on custom pieces and this is the first of this design. This sitar has been air shipped (as are all of our instruments) to preserve its quality. Please consider this if comparing to other instruments.
