Sadowsky is a New York high brand whose customers include top musicians such as Marcus Miller and Will Lee.
Metroline Express used to be manufactured in Japan, but after Warwick took over the distribution of Sadowsky products, the manufacturing location was changed to a factory in China.
The high quality has been maintained while keeping the selling price low, and the product has a very unique presence in the same price range.
When the Metroline Express series was first introduced, it did not have the Sadowsky logo, but this has been successfully changed.
This model has the essence of MM, which had already appeared in the German-made lineup.
The body is constructed of Okume and the neck and fingerboard are made of Roasted Maple.
Basically, the body shape is very slim.
It is a well-established shape.
The PU is a large MM type dual coil.
The wiring can be switched between series / single / parallel by a switch.
On top of that, the well-known 2-band Boost type preamp is installed.
It is smooth and comfortable to play, but the sound is MM.
This is one of the typical Sadowsky.
