Hello folks, another project in the works,( the neck was bowed as well as the top being sunken in) I have been interested in Indian Classical music for years, I have a few sitars…one of the things that got me started on working on instruments was attempts at sitar adjustment……I wanted to convert a regular guitar to a slide guitar set-up to play Indian classical style music….still a work in progress but I’m getting there….thanks for watching
