-----------------------------------

The signature model, filled with the thoughts of Chuck Loeb, who passed away while captivating many people with his outstanding sense and sound, is now back in stock in Japan! This ability is not for just anyone!

Chuck Loeb not only has outstanding playing style and is a representative of smooth jazz, but also showed his ability and name to the world as the guitarist of Fourplay, replacing Larry Carlton from 2010.
He passed away in 2017 at the young age of 61, but Sadowsky NYC's guitar has always supported him in recent years. Many of you may have seen Sadowsky's guitar with the Standard S, which can be called his icon, and the HSH layout, which is said to be a general combo.
This Chuck Loeb Signature Model is the product of Chuck Loeb's commitment and Sadowsky's technology.
The base model uses the LS-13, which has the Sadowsky original body shape that was long-awaited announced at the 2016 NAMM SHOW, and has a single cutaway with a bold cutaway. The compact body shape with a back contour provides an excellent balance that makes it easy for Japanese people to handle it, and is sure to increase the level of satisfaction of those who own it!
The LS-13 uses a 25.5 inch long scale neck, which is different from the short scale neck (24.75 inch) of the SS-13 that was announced at the same time, but the Chuck Loeb Signature is even more packed with Mr. Adopts a custom neck shape!
The 1st fret: .78 - 12th fret: .83 neck thickness of this machine is designed to be thinner than the regular Sadowsky NYC lineup, and you can also feel the passion that the owner put into this model in the neck grip. Combined with Sadowsky's exquisite setup, you will be able to fully enjoy the capabilities of the Signature Model.

The original shape maple top and alder back body is a wood combination that can be called plain, giving you a sense of new possibilities. The chamber processing unique to Sadowsky and the beautiful round style body curve that draws a smooth, three-dimensional curve not only gives it an elegant appearance, but also provides a smooth fit and a high level of holdability, making it easy to hold even when sitting. It fits easily in your hand even when playing in the game. The outstanding stability that allows you to play evenly and stress-free from low to high positions can be said to be unique to the original shape model of Sadowsky, a long-established guitar brand that knows everything about musical instruments!

The neck material of the original shape is a maple neck, which can be said to be one of the basic styles, and a matching ebony fingerboard. With a stable selection of materials that do not introduce anything unusual, you will feel that the sound is being created exactly as you intended.
What surprised me most about its ability was its sound! Although it has a general combination HSH layout, the pickups custom-wound for him have a very vintage-like sound, and not only does it have a natural and responsive sound through the preamp, but even in passive mode, its organic tone character allows you to play it for hours. I feel the urge to do it!
The control uses a smooth jazz switch that is activated by pulling up the tone pot, which can be said to be unique to the Chuck Loeb model! With just this operation, you can instantly create a jazz tone, and its character range can be preset using a small trim pot visible from the control panel on the back.
Normally, the tone pull is assigned to the tap control of the humbucker pickup, but this unit is equipped with a separate mini toggle to control the tap. The sound of this tap control also has excellent output management, and has a natural character that makes you think you are actually using it with the 3S pickout layout!
The preamp control has a 3-way toggle on the top, Mid Boost gain can be preset with the trim pot on the back, and Add Gain Boost can be preset with the trim in the control panel.

The tremendous building that was built by continuing to support his play...
