Sadowsky is a high-end New York brand with top-tier musicians such as Marcus Miller and Will Lee as clients. (Titles omitted)

Previously, the Metroline Express was manufactured in Japan, but as Warwick took over the distribution of Sadowsky products, manufacturing shifted to a factory in China.

While keeping the selling price down, high quality is maintained, making it a very unique product in its price range.

Initially, the Metroline Express series did not have the Sadowsky logo, but this has now been changed.

This is a 24-fret modern model.

The body is made of Okume, the neck is made of Roasted Maple, and the fingerboard is made of Morado.

The body balance and sound are well thought out, resulting in a very refined balance.

The neck has a satin finish, giving it a smooth feel.

The pickups are soapbar type, and the preamp is the familiar 2-band boost EQ type.

The preamp circuit board is almost identical to that of top-of-the-line models priced around 1 million yen, which I think is a significant advantage.

The controls are volume, balance, bass, and treble.

A push-pull switch allows you to bypass the active circuit and play passively.

The powerful and crisp sound sounds a little more flamboyant than recent NYC models.

Some people might even prefer this sound based on the tone alone.

It seems that creating a product with the same high quality at the same price point is not easy.

Highly recommended.
