I just finished modifying the sea foam green sitar-guitar...It was a real headache.
the acoustic on the ground (left side) is a Yamaha 12 string

How are those sitar-guitar things?  Seems kinda suspicious.

I very much like the tele...However I would never put my guitars on the grass Shocked, too many bugs.

It's a Rogue STR-1.  Rogue copied the "famous " Danelectro Coral Sitar Guitar.

These are built very poorly, so I had to perform some major surgery. Wink
I painted it 'cause i hated the "black crackle" look.

In spite of all the problems, I played a similar one in a guitar shop and just had to get one of these things.

Steve Howe used one on several of his solo albums + on Close to the Edge you can hear one.

Biggest issue was intonation. The Gotoh buzz bridge throws the intonation off terribly.

All grass-dwelling insects have been eliminated here in Utah LOL

Love the sitar- guitar and the tele. I have a friend interested in buying a sitar.

And if im not mistaken thats an acoustic - electric on the top right below the sitar?

Great pics! Really cool, though can you believe I don't like any of them, , though of course, if I had one of them in my hands it would be nice .

I'll search down Utah now, I'm interested in it.
