【used】Sadowsky / MX21 VJ4 TBT/M 2023 3.865kg #SMX K 000239-23【GIB Yokohama】

Sadowsky is a high-end New York brand with top-tier musicians like Marcus Miller and Will Lee as clients.

Previously, the Metroline Express was manufactured in Japan, but as Warwick took over distribution of Sadowsky products, manufacturing shifted to a factory in China.

While keeping the selling price down, high quality is maintained, making it a very unique product in its price range.

Initially, the Metroline Express series didn't have the Sadowsky logo, but this has now been changed.

Furthermore, the neck has been changed to roasted maple.

It has a satin finish and a smooth feel.

The back panel is screwless, similar to Warwick guitars.

Looking inside the cavity, you can see that it's shielded with copper foil tape. It's excellent.

The pickups are hum-canceling, as is typical of Sadowsky.

The preamp circuit board is almost identical to that of top-of-the-line models priced around 1 million yen, which is a significant advantage. The controls are volume, balance, bass, and treble.
A push-pull switch allows you to bypass the active circuit and play passively.
The powerful and crisp sound sounds a little more flamboyant than recent NYC models.
Some people might even prefer this sound.
It seems difficult to produce a product of the same high quality in the same price range.
Highly recommended.

The frets have approximately 70% remaining.
The truss rod is in good condition.
The neck is in good condition.
The body and paintwork have minor scratches all over.
The electronics are in good condition.
No obvious modifications were observed.
