Club Sadowsky!!!

Ok, good to know. Thanks for taking the time to respond to the questions people have!

I've stated before that just owning one of these made me feel like I was part of a special group. Thank you for producing the Satin series to begin with and allowing some of us the chance to get that NYC we always dreamed of... but just couldn't quite reach. I am unbelievably blessed to own the ones I have.
Me too, and just in time
 
Hi @Sadowsky

I hope you have enjoyed your holliday.
Thanks

Can you tell us when it will be possible to order the Chinese and German production ?
The new Sadowsky dealers will begin to take orders after the NAMM show.
MetroExpress should be in dealers in May.
MetroLine should be in dealers in April.

I hope to have a list of Licensed Sadowsky dealers soon.

I was waiting for Carl to get back to me about a color since November. I left him a message earlier. I’ll call back in a while.
Carl took care of this today. I also ordered a Satin 4 string just under the wire. This is why we love Roger and company, and why I will soon be "All Sadowskys All of the Time!"
 
Advice and perspective appreciated. It seems this lovely closet queen has some neck nitro finish issues. Large strips of nitro along the neck are gone, following the grain. The edges of the remaining nitro can be felt when playing. I do have Pics into the NYC shop and waiting for a neck refinish estimate. Inquiry into Roger as well.

it seems like this nitro wastage could be extended storage or case related. It does not look like player wear. Puzzling.

Anyhow there has been a suggestion to just lightly sand off the remaining nitro and leave the bare maple.

If I do that would the maple wood require a true oil and wax treatment to protect the maple? Like MusicMan or Lakland necks?

Think it’s better to just have the shop refinish it back to original tinted nitro?

Pat Wilkens gave me a prompt quote to refinish the neck but says he can’t use nitro. Can do a satin finish.

What kind of case was it stored in?
