The instrument is in near-new condition, never been gigged or indeed out of owner's studio. (The date of the instrument is assumed from the first two digits of the serial number.)

Reverb.com has a definitive article about electric sitars, including the Jerry Jones, at https://reverb.com/news/electric-sitars-of-the-psychedelic-era. Author Tony Bacon provides a listing of the best/best-known tracks using electric sitar that might surprise you:

1. Steely Dan - "Do It Again" (Denny Dias)

2. The Lemon Pipers - "Green Tambourine" (Vinnie Bell)

3. Joe South - "Games People Play" (Joe South)

4. Stevie Wonder - "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours" (Eddie Willis)

5. Eric Burdon & The Animals - "Monterey" (John Weider)

6. Pat Metheny Group - "Last Train Home" (Pat Metheny)

7. The Stylistics - "You Are Everything" (Bobby Eli)

8. The Box Tops - "Cry Like A Baby" (Reggie Young)

9. Freda Payne - "Band Of Gold" (Vinnie Bell or Dennis Coffey)

10. Screaming Trees - "Halo Of Ashes" (Gary Lee Conner)

It's a solid body with six standard strings, and 10 sympathetic strings. Two pickups are under the six strings, and one under the sympathetic strings. Each pickup has a volume and tone control for precise control over the sound. (Note that the electronics cutout cover is a round plexiglas disk on this instrument. Some models were shipped with a squarish metal cover instead, but outside of that I think the models are identical.)

The original special tuning wrench for the sympathetic strings is included.

The professional hard case, made specifically for this instrument, is in excellent shape. It does have a few very minor scratches and scuffs on it from normal handling. The original key to the center latch lock is included.

It is currently in tune, but if you wish I can detune it to ship. The guitar itself weights about 7 lbs; the case about 17 lbs.

Local pickup in the San Diego, CA area can be arranged. (Can save shipping cost and avoid risk of damage.)

This may not be an instrument that you use on every track, but there's nothing that sounds (or looks) quite like it.
