A superb professional quality build with lively, responsive voicing and effortless playability to spare.  This guitar is a direct response to players who wanted something with the fullness and presence of an L-5 without having to face issues of unwieldy dimensions, feedback at high volumes, or prohibitively high pricing.  When we gathered around to play this one were truly stunned, first by that immaculate burst and second by how downright "alive" the guitar sounds even acoustically.  You get an immediate response as well as access to a wonderfully broad dynamic range--taut, deep bass and clear, singing highs.  Run it through you favorite amp, tube or solid state, and push the volume to really see what this flawless instrument is capable of.  

Designed for lovers of the classic “EL FIVE”, the LS-17’s appeal lies in its 17″ wide body and 25 1/2″ scale length giving the player a big, warm sound. The thinner 2 3/4″ body makes the guitar much more comfortable to play and the 5-ply maple laminate construction helps reduce feedback.

Designed for the working musician, the LS-17 is a roadworthy instrument, optimized for amplified playing and priced affordably when compared to its carved siblings.

The Sadowsky LS-17. A jazz standard … redefined.
