Sitar on high E

[Johnkenn]

Now I might swap out the saddles and block. Anyone done that? Better?

Had sitar on my B string after replacing the SE nut with core using 9 gauge, put some 10s on which feel better sound better and no random Indian vibes coming from the B

Why do you wanna work that hard? Lol.

I also dropped a John Mann trem with brass block in and threw on some locking tuners. Levelled and polished the frets and of course the lampshades which do offer a sonic improvement also

The block and saddles make any sonic difference in your opinion?

Hit the high E and mute the other strings...still there?

I have an acoustic where the open high E will induce vibration/harmonics in the other open strings; particularly the G.

Dude. You were not fibbing…Amazing. Ended up changing to a bone nut and I thought that was a definite improvement. But whoa - the block and saddles make this guitar pretty unbelievably good.
I just wasn’t bonding with this guitar before this - it just lacked that spank on the attack and wasn’t as bell like as I wanted. But that brass block - and maybe the modern saddles - put all of that in there. Anyway - as you can see - I’m pumped.
