nah man, i think its him playin with a pick at the very bottom of the guitar, where the bridge cuts off with alot of compression and a touch of flange. csue its got the d' powerchord notes of it. im not sure what notes the strings of a sitar are, but im pretty sure ots not like a tipical guita

For the record, the tuning of a sitar (usually) is as follows:
1=F below middle C
2=C one octave below middle C
3=G in second octave below middle C
4=C two octaves below middle C
5=G below middle C
6=middle C
7=high C
So the tuning for a sitar is much different than that of a guitar. On that alone, I'm tempted to agree with InnerCombustion here (bridge cutting off with compression, etc.), but more importantly, the sitar has usually twelve sympathetic strings that resonate much longer than you hear in the first part of 4degrees; that seems the more convincing argument against this part being played on sitar . . . Were it actually performed on sitar, it would likely sound fuller and resonate longer.
p.s., If anyone's interested in such, I'd be happy to give more information on sitar, tuning, etc. I'm just too tired right now.
I know for a fact that is it just the guitar being played to sound as such, for one I used to make my bass sound like a sitar by tuning it drop D and then pulling the E string over the bottom frets and then having at. Also the guitarist in my old band used to like to use that effect on his amp, it was quite neat indeed.

i have a sitar,its a beautiful instrument although im not very good at it,but im learning.i always thought TOOL should use a sitar in 1 or 2 songs,it would be nice.
if anyone enjoys hearing sitar i would like to recommend Gabby La La,she may not be for all tastes but i think shes interesting...
Could be prepared guitar - where you stick metal objects between the strings or around the strings, so they vibrate along.
i seriously doubt that to be the case. adam simply used effects through his sliverburst or one of his acoustics. when played live he lays off the distortion.
