« 21 » 1989 PRS Electric guitar
25th August 2014
This is an early 1989 (23rd Jan) version of the PRS 'Electric' 24 guitar. There were about 250 of this model produced, with the majority being built in 1988. This one is number 220, just prior to the model being re-released as the PRS CE 24. I fixed some issues and gave it a polish and it looks quite good for a 25 year old guitar.

« 30 » Kharaj-pancham Sitar
6th October 2011
I purchased this Sitar from a music shop in Sydney, NSW, as they are hard to come by in Perth. This is an 18 string double gourd model, with 7 playable strings, and 11 sympathetic strings, making it a Kharaj-pancham sitar. The two bridges are made of deer horn, and the movable frets are a standard metal braced with string. The top (secondary) gourd is removable, and the hollow back provides a resonance for the player to hear the instrument - removing it via the screw makes the instrument project more towards the front, and would be ideal in an electrified situation. I bought a piezo pickup for this instrument, but it hasn't been fitted yet. The neck and facia is likely made from mahogany (tun wood), and it's decorated with bird inlays, as well as what appears to be the standard red, white and black markings around the instrument.
