therealting Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 You’re in for a treat. My Sadowsky NYC Strat was a work of art, and in a similar colour and wood scheme too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve never done a Pelham satin before so mine will be the only one in the world - for a while at least. I really like how morado looks as well - like rosewood that’s been given highlights!

I wouldn’t say The Satin Series are overly expensive, especially considering the Quality & craftsmanship you get for the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saved up wherever I could for about 2 years so far, which isn’t easy when you’re a self employed B&B and Cattery owner. Actually, it’s my wife that does that. I saved up my bass money walking people’s dogs, and that’s no word of a lie. 😊 Granted, I could have got a Metro or MetroExpress for less but my 20+ year GAS was for an NYC. I thought this over very hard. I COULD get Metro. But the NYC gas would still be there. Also granted, I could have got a really good used ‘real’ NYC for the money I’m paying for a new Satin. But I wanted the full on experience of ordering a new Sadowsky, dealing with Roger and Carl directly, even the build time, on this, the year of my 40th birthday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealting Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 He’s such a nice guy in real life too - when I bought my Strat, he set it up and signed the headstock for me. Miss that guitar, hope they catch the thieves and recover it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a used NYC that was custom made (for somebody else...) and it is exceptional. The ability to make your own individual order is pretty damn awesome. All the best with building process. I personally really like the feel of satin finished instruments. I have a satin finished Les Paul guitar and love it. A satin finished Sadowsky will be about as good as it gets.

therealting Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I’ve had both - my stolen NYC Strat and my Metro MV4. Both equally good IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianrendall Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 5 months earlier than expected! Settling the balance on Monday or Tuesday then just the glorious HMRC to deal with next. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
