Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: The bridge was coming off of the body as a result of the glue wearing out. Our luthier reglued and seated it into proper position. The truss rod and bridge were fully adjusted. No further work was required.
Step into a new realm of sound with the Sadowsky Electric Nylon! This isn't just a guitar; it’s a modern masterpiece that seamlessly blends classic nylon tone with the feel and function of a premium electric. Its chambered Okoume body, crowned with a beautiful Quilted Maple top, is a feather-light wonder that delivers incredible sustain and a comfortable, contoured feel. The Sadowsky buffer pre-amp and custom Barbera pickup unlock a world of plugged-in possibilities, from delicate tones to powerful, resonant chords. With a fast Maple neck, rich Morado fingerboard, and custom Sperzel tuners, this guitar is an investment in pure performance. It's a supremely playable and absolutely rock solid instrument that is as dynamic as you are, and it truly does not suck!
From Sadowsky Basses & Guitars
The Sadowsky Electric Nylon is a chambered body instrument designed for nylon strings. Developed primarily for the electric guitarist, the neck is thin and comfortable, with just enough extra width to accommodate the nylon strings. An acoustic style bridge graces the beautiful maple top. The custom made Barbera pickup integrated into the bridge saddle is powered by a custom Sadowsky buffer preamp. The instrument lends itself to both pick and fingerstyle techniques and produces exceptional tone when going direct into a board or through a variety of amps and PA systems. It is feedback-free and is suitable for small clubs or large stadium concerts. Electric Nylon players include Earl Klugh, Pat Metheny, Lee Ritenour, Gilberto Gil, Djavan, Daryl Steurmer, John Abercrombie, John Scofield, Mike Stern, Mick Goodrick, and Keith Richards.
