Joe G Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Looks pretty slick. Where are they built? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7/4 Posted November 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Brooklyn. And there's a dealer about 15 min from my apt. I suddenly have a bunch of gear I want to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 I believe final assembly including fretwork, nut, and the bridge is done in Brooklyn, but isn't the majority of the build in done in Japan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's all made in Brooklyn. $3300 for a Semi Hollow, $3900 for a Jim Hall...I didn't see anything on the web site or guitars that indicated that they were not made in the USA.

Sundog Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Here's a link to a Guitar Player review of the Hall and Bruno model guitars. Not sure if the manufacturing process referred to below also applies to the signature model. GP Sadowsky Review P.S. Either way it's a Sadowsky. Quality you can trust IMO.

7/4 Posted November 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Thanks, I see it now. from the 20th Century Gtr review: Built in Japan at the Sadowsky Tokyo shop under the supervision of top Japanese luthier Yoshi Kikuchi, with its final fretwork and set up done here at Sadowsky’s Brooklyn digs.

Joe G Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Same with the D'Angelicos I guess. But hell, Japan are old-skool luthiers at this point, what with Korea and everybody else in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7/4 Posted November 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Same with the D'Angelicos I guess. The current D'Angelico Excels are made in Korea, the D'Angelico New Yorkers in Japan. But hell, Japan are old-skool luthiers at this point, what with Korea and everybody else in the game. Excellent point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Pat Metheny and Mike Stern play Sadowsky's, Pat can be seen playing a solid body nylon string on the "Secret Story Live" DVD. Sorta odd because his nylon string of choice is made by Linda Manzer, and before that he often played an Ovation I think, right Joe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7/4 Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 These shiny objects of desire are way too $$$ for me, especially right now, so I didn't buy one. Maybe someday I'll get one, but not now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
