Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: All of the frets were polished, recrowned and leveled. The truss rod and bridge were fully adjusted. No further work was required.
Professional through and through. You'd be hard pressed to find a laminate instrument that's so light and lively and likewise a guitar with this powerful an acoustic response that doesn't cause feedback issues at higher volumes. But that's what happens when a master player's demands are met by a master luthier!
From Sadowsky Basses & Guitars
Sadowsky Guitars has maintained Jim’s guitars for over 15 years. Roger and Jim began to collaborate on a Sadowsky model and were committed to the idea that this would have to be a guitar that Jim would want to play, not just endorse. The Sadowsky Jim Hall Guitar meets all of Jim’s requirements as a player.
After several prototypes, Roger refined the Jim Hall Guitar by reducing the thickness of the top and back to provide a more acoustic response. He reduced the depth of the body to control feedback, designed a new ebony tailpiece with a string ground, and shaped the neck until it felt just right to Jim.
Incorporating Roger’s sense of aesthetics and design, the result is a beautiful looking, feeling, and sounding guitar that has been enthusiastically received by Jim Hall and many other players worldwide. Sadowsky Guitars is honored to have this association with the premier jazz guitarist, Jim Hall.
