Until now, Metroline has been manufactured in Japan, but after Warwick took over the distribution of Sadowsky products, the manufacturing location was changed to the Warwick factory in Germany.
Since the Metroline models made in Japan were originally highly acclaimed, some were concerned about a decline in quality, but from a look at the actual product, there seems to be no need to worry about an overreaction.
The neck feels a little thinner than the one made in Japan, and there are some differences in the roundness of the body joint.
This model is a gem that has been reconstructed using the Music Man style as a motif.
In fact, it is more like a rear-ham version of the JB.
This model uses snakewood for the top wood, and was produced in a limited edition of 150 pieces.
Roasted maple is used for the neck and fretboard, which is the reason why it is so comfortable to play.
The acoustic aspect is designed for high quality string vibration, so any combination of a single rear hum, rear single + front, etc., is characterized by a high quality sound.
The iconic preamp and versatile pickups are very good.
It outputs a powerful sound even at low string heights.
The MM+JB style certainly looks convenient, but actually striking a balance is not easy.
The fact that Sadowsky (including Warwick) has achieved such a superbly high quality in such a situation shows the ground power of Sadowsky.
