One of the most highly respected instrument makers in the world, Roger Sadowsky has gained early acclaim for outstanding repair and restoration work on guitars and basses. He leads an experienced team that is dedicated to improving building techniques and finding innovative materials to build the best instruments for his customers.

Sadowsky has worked with legendary musicians like Will Lee, Marcus Miller, Verdine White, Walter Becker, Jim Hall, and Chuck Loeb. 

Sadowsky MetroLine instruments are manufactured under exclusive license in a climate-neutral production in Germany. To achieve the light weight typical of Sadowsky basses, tonewoods are selected by hand so that all models only weigh 8.9 pounds or less. 

High-quality features include many of the design improvements Roger Sadowsky introduced for more comfortable playing, as for example sleek undersized bodies. Combined with hum-cancelling pickups and the luthier’s signature active electronics, this leads to the superior Sadowsky tone – characterized by high definition, powerful presence, and super sweetness.
