Sadowsky Masterbuilt Custom Shop 24-Fret Modern Nirvana Blackburst Transparent With Flamed Maple Top
Roger Sadowsky established his reputation for outstanding restoration and repairs on guitars and basses almost 40 years ago. In the ’80s, when the price of vintage became out of reach, he started to build instruments from scratch for working musicians, incorporating all improvements he had developed over the years including experience from building acoustic guitars.
He also worked with legendary musicians like Will Lee, Marcus Miller, Verdine White (to name a few) to create unique instruments with a legendary sound heard on numerous recordings.
Roger Sadowsky is today one of the most respected instrument builders in the world. At the head of an experienced team, he continuously works on improvements and innovation to deliver the best instruments for his customers.
Making music with a Sadowsky instrument can only result in complete satisfaction.
Sadowsky Germany
The new German-made Sadowsky is made by Warwick on a licensing deal with Sadowsky where Roger Sadowsky is fully involved and behind all decisions regarding design, branding, and most important quality.
We here at Bass Buddha see this as a great match, the genius of Roger Sadowsky with the incredible strong factory that Warwick has where the Production Manager Marcus Spangler roam controlling everything from bass guitar making to buying woods with great expertise. Marcus has collected over the years one of Europe’s probably biggest amount of woods ready to get build into basses.
So American and German engineering kind of rimes with excellent quality and supreme tone that we all like and know from Sadowsky.
