Sadowsky is a high-end New York brand whose clientele includes top musicians such as Marcus Miller and Will Lee. (Titles omitted)
Until now, Metroline guitars have been manufactured in Japan, but with Warwick taking over distribution of Sadowsky products, production has moved to the Warwick factory in Germany.
Since Japanese-made Metroline models were already highly acclaimed, some have expressed concerns about a decline in quality, but there's no need to worry.
The neck feels a little thinner than Japanese-made models, and there are also differences in the roundness of the body joint.
The previous Metroline guitars featured solid bodies.
However, like the NYC model, the new Metroline guitars feature chambered bodies.
This makes them lighter, approaching the 3kg range, a clear advantage.
The excellent electronics produce a powerful sound even with a low string height.
Their playability is also excellent, making them a product with great overall potential.
The pickups are said to be different from both the old Metroline and NYC pickups, but the sound is neat and beautifully designed.
There's no peaky feeling and it's easy to play with.
This is a very high-quality, well-put-together masterpiece.
I actually visited the Sadowsky factory in Warwick, Germany, to see how they were made, and I could see the modern, streamlined manufacturing process there.
Seeing the manufacturing process, it's easy to see why it's so high quality.
I recommend it.
Approximately 80% of the frets remain.
The truss rod is in good condition.
