This rare 5-string from the world renowned Luthier Sadowsky's NYC Custom line is an incredible instrument that offers extremely low-noise and an amazing sound range. It's specifications are a one of a kind order for a Japanese shop to commemorate their 10th anniversary.

Its ash body adorns an exotic burl top with gloss finish. The satin finished 1-piece maple neck is dressed with an ebony fingerboard featuring 24 frets and abolone inlays.

The original soapbar pickups have a wide range complimented by a potent set of controls including balancer, passive tone with push pull to bypass the preamp, and a stacked trebel/bass boost knob.

CONDITION
This used bass has some very light surface wear to the finish but is in great condition with neck in wonderful shape. Some average fret wear can be seen, but the guitar is professionally setup with optimal playability. The rectangular shape seen on the body's back is a scratch guard.
All photos are of the actual item.
Listing includes the original softcase and a bonus Gibson brand hardcase. Inside are the original clear pickguard, Roger Sadowsky COA with signature, and message card for Shop's anniversary commemoration.
