Club Sadowsky!!!

If you just want to accelerate the wear, you might try 0000 steel wool instead of the sandpaper. Buff lightly, only a few strokes in one place, without taking all the finish off. Kinda half-stepping it, y'know?

Yes, I used that a lot on my 5502 neck, which is a poly I think. On the Sad I am more than willing to wait for the natural wear to occur, as it does feel very nice already. Thanks!

Speaking of pickups, I've been mulling over having the HCs in my Metro RV5 changed to single coils, if that'd give me more of the classic J bell tone. I'd be interested in comments...

It will never sound like a fender jazz, but i found duncan sjb5 to get the closest. They are cheap too.

How old is the metro? The new HCs are more J like than the older ones.
 
You are a god among gearheads! It takes one to know one. :smug:

Awesome. May you play them all, often, in good groove and good health!

Do you provide the public service of letting interested parties visit to hear the variations? I'm sure you wouldn't (shouldn't!) just give out your address, but ... man ... maybe Sadowsky could subsidize you as a west coast showroom?


The current quiver... just added the RP/S NYC5, awesome tonal array.
