Sadowsky is a high-end brand from New York that counts top musicians such as Marcus Miller and Will Lee as customers.
Until now, the Metro Line was manufactured in Japan, but as Warwick took over distribution of Sadowsky products, manufacturing moved to the Warwick factory in Germany.
The Japanese-made Metro Line models were highly acclaimed, so there were concerns about a decline in quality, but looking at the actual product, there seems to be no need to worry too much.
This model is a modern model with a wide range of 24 frets.
Many musicians use it, and its quality is highly acclaimed.
The excellent electronics output a powerful sound even with a low string height.
There are no problems with playability, and it seems to be a product with high overall potential.
It is a little surprising that the feel of playing is not like a gentle play with a low string height, but rather a firm play that sounds like a bass.
However, people who play the bass professionally are looking for this kind of nuance.
Of course, lowering the string height and playing beautifully doesn't give a negative impression.
