I'm very sad! He's not trying to pass it off as REAL... but the headstock mod really bugs me.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sadowsky-Fen...item3a7dcbed77
When I get my Sadowsky, and I will - just missed one this week, I want it to be the real deal. I have a 'Fendowsky' but I would never try to pass it off as anything more than a tribute.

with the upgrades this bass is as good as any Sadowsky Metro or better than any US Fender at half the price

If he threw the American Standard in the trash when he got it, he'd be better off financially. Worst part is, if he didn't reshape the headstock, he'd probably get a lot more money for it. |
