Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'll give you a hint.. there was one used at budokan by a progressive band not too long back....

Nice Picture....hehe

Sorry about the second one, that's the best I could come up with.

Anyways... Hmm...

Show me a vintage Gibson Flying V.

Sitars don't have "the frets above the strings", 'cause then how could you fret them? If you couldn't fret them, why would they have frets?

They have extra strings, below the frets. These are not the main strings, they are "sympathetic strings". The playing strings are above the frets, and I believe the drone strings are as well.

Here is a sitar, with sympathetic strings below the frets:


Then of course there's electric sitars, which are really just an electric guitar with added sympathetic/drone strings:


EDIT: Damn, PhotoBucket really shrunk the images. If you want bigger pictures, here's where I got them from:

Give me a Conklin black, gold and cream double-neck bass, with seven strings on each neck, one neck fretted and the other fretless.

Hope that works? You were pretty specific, so it was somewhat tough, haha.
