Sadowsky Jim Hall Archtop
2012 Sadowsky Jim Hall Archtop
Now discontinued, the line of archtops from Sadowsky continue to impress and remain in high demand. This one is from an earlier run with extra purfling lines, potentially more desirable to some. This one also includes the signature truss rod cover, still attached to a cardboard backing and never installed on the guitar.

Condition / Setup Notes
Excellent; the guitar shows typical, light wear commensurate with its age, but it’s all quite minor and needs to be looked for. The headstock face shows the most wear from string changes, but still in very nice shape, needing raking light to discern. Light fret wear, mostly below the b and e strings. The case shows some wear, but is solid. Currently set up with string height about 5/64" to 4/64", with just a touch of relief in the neck.
***
These Sadowsky archtops are now discontinued after about a 20 year run, and in that time have become one of the go-to electric archtops out there. It's easy to see where that reputation comes from, with each instrument maintaining a consistency that the brand is known for. This one is no exception, and has a great sound and playability, excelling in jazz contexts.
