Sadowsky Tokyo USED Metroline R1 Center PU Seymour Duncan SSL-1 Modified (Dark Cherry Metallic/M) [SN. M3713]

Recommended player-condition used item!
The Sadowsky Guitars Metroline R1 Classic, a guitar that pursues ease of playability, superior aesthetics, and top-of-the-line specifications, is now available as a recommended player's condition used item! It is believed to be a model from the early 2010s. Although there are many scratches, dents, and signs of use, it is in a practical condition that allows you to play it right away! It comes in a stylish Dark Cherry Metallic color!
This is a modified model with the center pickup replaced from a Suhr FL to a Seymour Duncan SSL-1!

The Japanese-made Sadowsky Guitars R1, released around 2008, caused quite a stir! And in 2011, it was reborn as the R1 Classic, with improved playability and even more beautiful design. Sadowsky's R1, which pursued functional beauty and superior specifications, has been thoroughly redesigned down to the smallest detail!

New things will one day become the good old things. To surpass the good old things requires not only refined sensibilities and techniques, but also the capacity (philosophy) to embrace tradition. Sadowsky calls this Modern Filing. The concept of this series is "Modern Feeling," and it resonates with me! It is precisely because it comes from the long-established component brand "Sadowsky" that it conveys a truly satisfying and sophisticated attitude.

Sadowsky Style guitars offer a stress-free neck grip that makes no compromises in achieving a balance between tone and playability, meticulously crafted fretting that anticipates the unique characteristics of the neck and how it will sound when strung, and excellent responsiveness to aging.

This medium-sized 22-fret guitar delivers an exquisite attack, chord feel, and comfortable grip. The significantly rounded fingerboard edges and 12-inch radius fingerboard surface produce the crisp, warm tone desired by all guitar players. Sadowsky Guitars, a custom guitar brand, has achieved exceptional quality through its high level of technical skill and expertise. This particular instrument features a maple fingerboard.

The neck, which fully incorporates the essence of Sadowsky cultivated over many years, is equipped with a spoke wheel adjuster that eliminates the need to remove the neck when adjusting the truss rod.

The bridge prioritizes functionality as a tremolo system, rather than adhering to conventional synchronized tremolo designs. To ensure stable strength and wear resistance in the arm section and other edges that are the origin of the movement, the Gotoh 510 TS SF1 plate, made of chrome-molybdenum steel, is used. Furthermore, the use of pressed saddles creates a classic style.

Furthermore, the two-point support studs, which significantly reduce friction loss, and the push-in type tremolo arm, which eliminates noise caused by rattling during operation, allow you to experience smooth and stable direct arming action.

This guitar features Suhr FL pickups in the front and rear positions. Because the distributor was the same, the pickup covers and backs of the pickups are marked "Sadowsky," but the internal components are FL (ML Classic) pickups. The FL is juicier and hotter than other vintage pickups, while retaining a vintage-like sparkle. (Some ML Classic pickups installed in the Metroline R1 may have "ML" written on the back depending on the production period. The Suhr FL (Fletcher Landau) later changed its name to ML (ML Classic), and is now known as the V63+.) The middle pickup has been replaced with a Seymour Duncan SSL-1, as mentioned earlier, making this a modified model that also offers a clean, vintage tone! (Original pickups are not included.)
With its carefully selected alder body and steel block tremolo, this guitar delivers a brilliant edge and exquisite tonal balance, making it a truly practical instrument!
