Sound Pure's Take
There's no other way to put this: this guitar sounds absolutely amazing. Giant, sophisticated tone just pours out of this feather-weight maple body. The only word we could actually come up with when trying to describe the sound of this guitar was "fresh," and it was because we were in too much of a hurry to finish talking and start listening to this box sing. And that was before we plugged it into an amp. This is a guitar that has to be heard to be believed.
The flame maple throughout the top and back of this guitar is stunning without throwing too much pizzazz in your face; eye-catching but refined unlike a lot of other flame maple guitars. The neck is so comfortable and downright inviting, the playability is such that it handles blazing bebop lines and chord melodies with delicate grace. This Sadowsky is a major player, and it's bound to make you leave your other guitars in their cases!
From Sadowsky Basses & Guitars
The all acoustic brother of the Semi-Hollow, the SS-15 features the same body as the Semi but is all acoustic with traditional jazz guitar appointments and styling. The thin body provides a more immediate acoustic response than its bigger siblings and has no sonic peer when amplified. The 1 3/4″ nut width and 14 frets to the body give the SS-15 a familiar comfort to any jazz guitarist. For the touring guitarist, the SS-15 is a perfect size for overhead airline bins and is more roadworthy than solid wood instruments.
