Sadowsky Guitars

Jim Hall Signature Model Archtop Guitar
The result of four years of prototyping and collaborating, the Jim Hall Guitar is designed for the working musician as well as the discriminating collector. Sadowsky Guitars is honored to have this association with the premier jazz guitarist, Jim Hall.
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. The finish is nitrocellulose lacquer with a distinctive "Jim Hall Sunburst."Click on image for specifications

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.

The Jim Hall is available in the "Signature" model as shown on the right or in without the Jim Hall identification with traditional white/black/white bindings.

Jimmy Bruno Signature Model
The Jimmy Bruno Model features 5-ply maple laminate body construction with the following specifications:
• 14-3/4” body width at the lower bout
• 2-3/4” body thickness
• 1-11/16” nut width
• Mahogany neck with Ebony fingerboard and cat’s eye pearl inlays
• 24-3/4” scale, 22 frets, 15 frets to the body
• Ebony bridge, tailpiece and pickguard
• Gold hardware
The Sadowsky Jimmy Bruno Model achieves the goal of a smaller, comfortable guitar that is resistant to feedback but does not compromise on tone. The smaller body permits a higher feedback threshold and is very comfortable to play. The mahogany neck gives the guitar a rich, warm fullness that makes this instrument sound much “bigger” than one would expect from a smaller body.

The Jimmy Bruno Model will be available in the following nitro-cellulose finishes:
• Natural
• Vintage Amber
• Violin Sunburst
• Honey Sunburst
• Tobacco Sunburst
