Dial the Danelectro Coral Electric Sitar sound in on your own rig
A solidbody guitar fitted with the Vincent Bell-designed buzz bridge, whose wide, flat saddle makes each string rattle against it and produces a sustained, twangy, sitar-like drone from ordinary guitar technique. Mitch Easter's Danelectro electric sitar was used on R.E.M.'s Chronic Town, most prominently on Gardening at Night. Bright and buzzy rather than warm, and best played for single notes and open chords.
