Jerry Jones
Used Jerry Jones Electric Sitar Dark Red Crackle early 2000s
The Coral Electric Sitar was original invented by Vincent Bell, a studio guitarist that worked with Daniel Nathan at Danelectro in the 1960s. Original Coral Sitars still command a pretty high price in the vintage market mostly due to collectability and its importance in musical history.
Jerry Jones was born in Jackson, Mississippi and was building quality guitars in Music City, Nashville, Tennessee since the 1980s. After a customer brought in a Danelectro guitar for repair, he had a change of direction. Jerry started thinking that the Danelectro guitar was what he would build for himself relishing the unpretentious simplicity of the Nathan Daniel’s Danelectro instruments. From that point Jerry began building high quality reproductions of the original Danelectro designs. In 1991, Jerry Jones even visited Nathan Daniel (owner of Danelectro) who was living in Hawaii at the time.
This guitar is in fantastic shape. There is little to no cosmetic wear throughout the guitar. The frets have plenty of life left. The finish is not condusive to showing wear, so you should have a beautiful instrument for many years to come! Sorry- no case for this one.
