New (to me) 1996 Sadowsky NYC Modern 5!
Currently outfitted with Seymour Duncan / Fodera ‘NYC’ pickups and a Glockenklang 2-band pre. There was some discolouration and screw hole repair damage from a previous pickguard, so I made and installed a pickguard to cover it up and I think it looks way better (before and after photos in the post). Run passive here, outer coils selected, blended towards neck, tone flat.
It also came with the original EMG 40Js and the Sadowsky pre, which might find its way in again at some point; have to say it already sounds terrific as it is, but seems crazy to have a Sadowsky NYC without the Sadowsky pre in it.
Going to live with it a while, but if I really love it I might get it refinished sympathetically as the screw holes unfortunately look like they were refinished by a toddler with silly putty.
