Sadowsky SS-15
2015 Sadowsky SS-15
Consistently great guitars, here’s a Sadowsky SS-15 archtop, in a less usual blonde finish. The compact size along with the shorter scale makes this an appealing choice. The thin rims are especially nice, and this particular one has nice figuring in the maple plates. The SS-15 from this era also had fancier purfling than the later models, most notably on the sides. Sadowsky archtops have now been discontinued, and this one is a great example.

Condition / Setup Notes
Excellent(+); The guitar remains in very clean shape overall, with no wear to really note. It looks like it was mostly left in the case. Currently set up with string height about 5/64”-4/64”, with a touch of relief in the neck. Playing nicely.
***
Sadowsky archtops are beautifully made and designed guitars, and the SS-15 with its short scale and thin rims is perhaps my favorite in the line up. Sadowsky archtops are known for their consistency, and this is another great example. Nice that it’s also finished in blonde, which is typically reserved for the cleanest and nicest figure; it certainly seems to apply in this case.
