Description & Condition
Description & Condition
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Since the Metroline models originally made in Japan were highly acclaimed, some were concerned about a decline in quality, but from a look at the actual product, there seems to be no need to worry about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 Japanese-made version, and there are differences in the roundness of the body joint and other features.
Also, the old Metroline had a solid body.
However, this new Metroline, like the NYC, uses a chambered body.
This makes the weight much lighter, in the 3 kg range, which is a clear advantage.
This model is the signature model of virtuoso Will Lee.
The custom preamp is equipped with a unique mid-boost switch.
This can boost either 500Hz or 800Hz.
Each has a choice of wide-range or narrow-range Q magnitude.
The excellent electronics, typical of Sadowsky, produce a powerful sound even at low string heights.
The playability is also very nice, and the overall potential of the product is high.
The PU is different from both the old Metroline and NYC, but it feels neat and beautifully designed.
It seems to be easy to handle without being peaky.
