Description: Selling my Sadowsky SS-15 archtop. This is a Roger’s 15 inch archtop that Roger calls his mini Jim Hall model. Roger is no longer making archtop guitars, so these will be hard to come by. I bought this new in 2024 ($6 grand). It's never seen a gig. So fun to play. Very lightweight. Check out the pictures. Stunning!! The guitar is in like new condition. Don’t see any dings, marks, and no cracks or repairs. Extremely easy to play with low action set-up. Even though it’s a smaller guitar, Jazz chords are lush and articulate. Single note melodies are clear and full bodied. Love to play chord melody on this baby. It would be a great addition to any archtop collection. from the sadowsky website: The little brother of the Jim Hall Guitar, the SS-15 features a smaller body 15” wide and 1-¾” deep. It is all hollow with traditional jazz guitar appointments and styling. The thin body provides a more immediate acoustic response than the Jim Hall and has no sonic peer when amplified. The 1-3/4″ nut width and 14 frets to the body give the SS-15 a familiar comfort to any jazz guitarist. For the touring guitarist, the SS-15 is a perfect size for overhead airline bins and is more roadworthy than solid wood instruments.Specifications15” body width at lower bout1-¾” body depth5-ply flame maple laminate constructionMahogany neck, dovetail neck jointEbony fingerboard with 1-¾” nut width, 24.75” scale lengthTraditional 14 frets to the bodyPearloid Cat’s Eye inlaysEbony bridge pickguard and tailpieceSadowsky True-Tone compensated ebony bridgeBlack hardwareCustom wound vintage PAF style pickup with black cover Here is Jazz Guitar Today’s review from a few years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWLZP_RLXeg&t=132s Roger designed this model,and had them built in Japan(body and neck) and then sent to Roger to do his magic. I never thought I would be selling this so soon, but health issues have reared their ugly head, so I am preemptively letting some pieces go. Great opportunity for someone to snag an amazing guitar at an amazing price on a like-new Sadowsky.I ordered this with a gig bag due to back issues. It also comes with a truss wrench , alternate bridges, and a Sadowsky strap with lock buttons and polishing cloths. So some nice bling!!! I have Thomastik jazz strings on the guitar(11’s).
