Sadowsky: the excellence of the New York luthier

Since 1979, Sadowsky has established itself as an essential reference in the world of high-end basses and guitars. Founded by Roger Sadowsky in New York, the brand is recognized for its exceptional instruments, combining lightness, playing comfort, manufacturing precision and the famous Sadowsky sound instantly identifiable on stage as in the studio.

Originally known for his instrument repair and restoration work, Roger Sadowsky quickly developed his own vision of lutherie: designing instruments inspired by the great classics, but optimized for modern musicians. This approach gave birth to basses and guitars renowned for their dynamic response, sonic balance and impeccable finish quality.

Iconic basses for demanding musicians

The heart of the Sadowsky identity rests on its electric basses, praised by many professionals for their versatility and ergonomics. The brand notably offers NYC Custom models, MetroLine and MetroExpress series, as well as a wide range of associated accessories and electronics.
