This LS-13 Broadway is a perfect example of why Roger Sadowsky is considered one of the finest builders working today. That dark cherry burst over flame maple is simply gorgeous, and paired with a matching flame maple fingerboard, every note rings clear as a bell. The alder body with flame maple top delivers an ideal mix of warmth and definition. Roger's unique Broadway body shape is remarkably comfortable and ergonomic.

CRAIG'S POV

This LS-13 Broadway is a perfect example of why Roger Sadowsky is considered one of the finest builders working today. That dark cherry burst over flame maple is simply gorgeous, and paired with a matching flame maple fingerboard, every note rings clear as a bell.

The alder body with flame maple top delivers an ideal mix of warmth and definition. Roger's unique Broadway body shape is remarkably comfortable and ergonomic - it's no wonder it has become legendary guitarist Lee Ritenour's go-to instrument. At just 6.4 pounds, it's perfectly balanced for long sessions. The impeccable fretwork, combined with the slightly wider nut width of 1-3/4" (with a 1-11/16" nut spacing), makes this Broadway incredibly playable, while the rounded fingerboard edges give it a wonderfully smooth feel.
What really sets this guitar apart is its versatility. The splittable Sadowsky custom humbuckers and proprietary preamp system with mid/gain boost let you dial in an incredible range of tones. Whether you're playing clean or with gain, this Broadway responds beautifully.

Roger's been building guitars for the world's top players for decades, and this Broadway shows exactly why - it's got all the classic mojo with just the right modern touches to make it sing.

If you'd like to find out more about this item, just call or e-mail me. It would be my pleasure to talk to you about it.

ABOUT SADOWSKY GUITARS
Mention the name Roger Sadowsky to your average guitar player, and you'll likely elicit a "Roger Who?" But that name is spoken in almost reverent tones amongst working musicians. Sadowsky has built this reputation by giving the modern guitarist and bassist what he needs--a no-nonsense, versatile, and reliable electric guitar that performs great and sounds better. Of course, these are claims made by every guitar company in existence; but Sadowsky Guitars is one of the very few companies that can actually back it up. Sadowsky Guitars is based in Long Island City, in Queens New York where founder Roger Sadowsky built the business from the ground up in 1979, after 7 years of guitar luthier training. Today, the Sadowsky company has around 10 employees and caters to guitarists such as; Walter Becker, Jim Hall, Chuck Loeb, Russell Malone, Jimmy Bruno, and Lee Ritenour.
