Sadowsky Electric Nylon

Tele style nylon string; alder body with quilt maple top and morado (?) fingerboard and bridge; Sperzel tuners with "open" gear (i.e. no casing around the back of the cogs - nice touch and looks great). Under saddle transducer pickup (no piezo - yay!); volume/tone.

Has everything it needs, no more, no less.

Great sounding guitar. It really is very touch responsive and there's a great variation in tones to be had just from your fingers. I run through a Boss GT8 for some reverb and then direct to PA. Sometimes on a very bass heavy PA system I will dial out some bottom end <80hz but apart from that the tone control is all you need most times.

Can also be overdriven :) and won't feedback even with massive overdrive. That's not the normal use for this guitar though!

Plays superbly and is flawlessly constructed. Best intonation of any solidbody nylon string guitar that I have ever owned. Looks cool too!

As long as I change the preamp battery and give it a fresh set of strings occasionally, I can't see there ever being problems with this guitar.

I've just ordered another Sadowsky guitar. 'nuff said.

I'm a working musician and have been playing for about 25 years.

Even though I work regularly, I always look forward to gigs just to play this guitar. It's just that good - I love nylon string guitar and have owned many different types over the years but this is the absolute pick of the bunch.

If it were lost or stolen I would cry a lot and then order another one. Or possibly the other way around.

AAAA quilted maple, built in 1994.

The sound is absolutely professional. Easy to dial in to the right sound, not a bunch of confusing knobs and switches. The best I've ever played on stage, in church, or in clubs

Without hesitation this is my "A" guitar. Built very durably, everything is very solid on this instrument.

Very helpful, real people talk to you (including Roger) and have answers that work.

Guitarist for 40 years. Also play other brands of electric nylon guitars. If this guitar were stolen, I would certainly buy another like as soon as possible. It is absloutely the best electric nylon I've ever played.

If you reading this review you know what the guitar looks like, where it's made, and it's features. But to take up bandwith: tone and volume knob, no visible pup as it has a Fishman transducer beneath the elegant wood bridge; 25-1/2" scale; tuners are special Sperzel that work well with the nylon strings' elasticity.

It has few "features" like pickup selector, preamp on/off, etc and that's the beauty of it. Simple is good.

You have to play one and hear it in person to believe it. Recordings like Ritenour and others do not even come close how it good it sounds in real life.

It will not feedback through my Ultrasound amp. For dumb fun I ran it through my Soldano SLO 100 and Peavey 5150. : )

Set up remarkably well and finished perfectly. Playse beautifully: a hybrid of electric and classical action; supremely dynamic and touch sensitive.

It's a Sadowsky.

Sadowsky sets the benchmark for how a customer should be treated.

It's sik. Not sick but sik. .. so unique sounding and so beautiful. Play one and you will want one. It's that simple. Not cheap but if you can swing it, get one. Life is too short if music is a passion for you. And since you are reading this review, no doubt it is.

...Been playing for about 25 years rock, blues, acoustic fingerstyle @ Kottke and Michael Hedges.
