Did he just buy 6 sitar strings and put them on a Silvertone 1448?

it's a bridge design that converts a normal six-string into an electric sitar. it was developed by vinnie bell in the '60s. there's one in production now for the late '90s danos RIs just have to add a tailpiece.

i thought it was becuz Nels Cline was such an advanced guitarist that he could make his guitar sound like a sitar. like a being a Zen Buddhist Kung-fu Master. but w/ like guitar...

Tell me how!

the extended flatness of the bridge adds the necessary "buzz" to make a normal guitar sound like a sitar. at least that's how the coral/danelectro electric sitars work and the gotoh sitar bridge.
