I would like to buy one, but don't know much about them, as far as what to look for in purchasing one. Does anyone have any pointers on what to look for or any suggestions for one in the range of $300-500?

A real nice one will set you back a bit more than your price range, however, you may find one thats a bit used for that price. Try to find one with the gourds in good shape, with no cracks that could lead to a pricey repair job. Happy hunting....

Thanks, what do you think about this: http://www.buckinghammusic.com/sitar/birdshead.html ? The guy on the website seems to be knowledgeable and says this is the best sitar in that price range (of course, it's new, so certainly a used one could be better, as you said). He says he inspects all of his sitars and makes sure everything works properly before they are sold.

Great site NS! I'd strongly consider one of the used ones if you are just starting out. Looks like some good deals on those. That electric one looked pretty cool, run it thru a reverse delay and a Marshall and really drive the neighbors nuts!!!....
