Sadowsky is a New York high brand whose customers include top musicians such as Marcus Miller and Will Lee.
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Since the Metroline models originally made in Japan were highly acclaimed, some were concerned about a decline in quality, but from a look at the actual product, there seems to be no need to worry about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 one made in Japan, and there are some differences in the roundness of the body joint.
When the single-cut model was first released by Sadowsky NYC, I think it became a very big topic of conversation.
It was very expensive, and it has not been widely used since it is hardly distributed at present.
With this situation in mind, the release of the single-cut model from Metroline this time is a welcome development.
The neck is jointed to the body at a shallower stage than the double-cut model to increase strength and control string vibration.
It is characterized by a stronger fundamental tone and a smooth rising feel.
Another unique point is that it has a mid-boost preamp like the Will Lee model.
The freqency can be adjusted with a switch and the gain with a mini-trimmer.
The frequencies are as follows.
1:500Hz, Q Factor 1 (Narrow Band)
2:500Hz, Q Factor 1.7(Broad Band)
3:800Hz, Q Factor 1(Narrow Band)
4:800Hz, Q Factor 1.7(Broad Band)
Controls include volume, balancer, tone (with active/passive switch), treble/bass, and mid boost switch.
The acoustic surface is beautifully designed for string vibration, and both comfort and sound are of high quality.
Please pick one up and try it for yourself.
This is an official manufacturer's outlet item.
Due to long-term storage, there may be scratches on the exterior.
The product comes with a warranty except for the appearance.
