Footnotes

Similar to the Coral Electric Sitar, Vincent Bell was behind the design of the Danelectro Bellzouki. Bell got the idea to create a twelve-string guitar, with a body similar to a Bouzouki and electrified with the addition of pickups. Through his deal with Danelectro, he pitched the concept to them and, consequently, the Bell-Bouzouki was born, later known as the Bellzouki.
