Sadowsky Vs Valenti

Status
Not open for further replies.
I have owned both and liked both. The only issue with my Valenti was CNS (chunky neck syndrome), I'd love to try one of his newer models.

As for the Sadowsky I owned, I traded it away for something else (I don't even remember what I traded for) and kick myself for doing so.

Price is a huge difference, but sound and playability are both excellent.
 
* Both are VERY high quality.
* Both sound great, play great, and usually make the young girls cry.
* Valenti is more affordable, and in my opinion has the edge on the dollar-to-quality ratio.
* Valenti offers more options
* Sadowsky has higher resale value

It's a draw.
 
:cool:

I own a Valenti #79

Both are close in quality and tone.
As said, Sadowsky has a better re-sale value.
My Valenti has a Sadowsky pre-amp VTC control.
And Sadowsky bridge.
It's so close to a USA Sadowsky it's silly.
Valenti has more bang for the buck.

Save $2000.00 and get a Valenti.
