Sadowsky is a high-end New York brand whose clientele includes top musicians like Marcus Miller and Will Lee.
While Metroline Express models were previously manufactured in Japan, production moved to a Chinese factory as Warwick took over distribution of Sadowsky products.
Despite the lower price point, high quality is maintained, making these instruments uniquely compelling within their price range.
When the Metroline Express series first launched, it didn't feature the Sadowsky logo, but this has since been successfully changed.
This model incorporates the essence of MM and was already part of the German-made lineup.
The body is constructed from Okume, while the neck and fingerboard are made from Roasted Maple.
The body shape is fundamentally very slim.
It's a well-regarded shape.
The pickups are large MM-type dual coils.
These can be switched between series, single, and parallel wiring via a switch.
Additionally, it features the familiar 2-band boost preamp.
It offers a smooth playing feel while delivering that signature MM sound.
It's a quintessential Sadowsky instrument.
