【outlet】Sadowsky / MX22 WL5 CAR/R 4.085kg #A001480-25【GIB Yokohama】

Sadowsky is a high-end New York brand whose clientele includes top musicians such as Marcus Miller and Will Lee.

Until now, Metroline Express guitars were manufactured in Japan, but with Warwick taking over distribution of Sadowsky products, production has shifted to a factory in China.

High quality is maintained while prices are kept low, making this a very unique product in its price range.

When the Metroline Express series was first released, it did not feature the Sadowsky logo, but this has now been successfully changed.

This is the long-awaited new Will Lee model.

The body is made of Okoume, the neck is Roasted Maple, and the fingerboard is Morado (Pau Ferro).

The body is well-balanced and the sound has been carefully considered, resulting in a very well-balanced guitar.

The neck has a satin finish and a smooth feel.

The pickups are single-coil, and the preamp is the familiar 2-band boost EQ type.

The preamp circuitry is roughly equivalent to that of top-of-the-line models priced at around 1 million yen, which is a major advantage.

Controls include volume, balance, bass, and treble.
A push-pull switch allows you to bypass the active circuit and play in passive mode.

The powerful, crisp sound is a little more flashy than recent NYC models.

Some people might even prefer this model based on sound alone.

It seems it would be difficult to create a product that offers the same high quality in this price range.

I recommend it.
