“Ganesha” -A Waseem Maner Full Custom Sitar

This is a masterpiece custom sitar hand made Waseem Maner sitar partnered with an obscure bone carver from India. Waseem Maner is unquestionably one of the best sitar makers living right now.

This sitar took over 2 years to make. This is because this sitar is a combination of two masters of their craft.

I commissioned a deer antler carver to hand cut the one of a kind Ganesha seen in the headpiece along with 7 large lotus flowers sitting on the main tuning pegs. There are 13 hand carved lotuses on the sympathetic string pegs as well.

Full ‘custom’ Fenders cost >5k at base rate. In my opinion, there is absolutely no comparison in terms of craftsmanship to something like this.

Strings are low action for fast playing. Sympathetic strings have bone within each hole making them sit evenly through neck with beautiful resonance.

The reason I am selling this is because I will be moving to Manhattan, New York in July. I will be posting many of my musical equipment as I prepare to significantly downsize for my move.

Price includes Fiberglass carrying case. Message me with any questions. Thank you for checking my baby out!
