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 met 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.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 and many other players worldwide. Sadowsky Guitars is honored to have had this association with the premier jazz guitarist, Jim Hall. Jim passed away on December 10, 2013 and we honor his memory with every Jim Hall Model we produce. and more: Specifications16 body width at lower bout2-3/4 body depth5 ply flame maple laminate constructionMaple neck, dovetail neck jointEbony fingerboard with 1-3/4 nut width, 24.75 scale length14 frets to the bodyEbony bridge pickguard and tailpieceSadowsky True-Tone compensated ebony bridgeIvoroid bindingGold hardwareCustom wound vintage PAF style pickup with gold coverPickup duplicated from original Guild/DeArmond pickup from Jim s guitar
