Guitar
I've been interested in German luthier Eyb ever since I started to look for a sitar-guitar bridge - they propose one of the few available ones (I finally settled for Rockinger - another German brand - telecaster sitar saddles for my Doppelcaster).

Eyb sitar-guitar

I've been interested in German luthier Eyb ever since I started to look for a sitar-guitar bridge - they propose one of the few available ones (I finally settled for Rockinger - another German brand - telecaster sitar saddles for my Doppelcaster).
