Sadowsky Guitars Introduces Deluxe Satin Series Basses

Sadowsky Guitars Deluxe Satin Series Bass

After unveiling the Satin Series earlier this year, Sadowsky Guitars has announced the Deluxe Satin line. The basses are made in the company’s New York City shop in batch to keep costs down.

The series will be available in their traditional vintage-styled 4-21 and 5-21 models as well as their more modern 4-24 and 5-24 models. The Deluxe Satin basses step things up from the regular Satin line with a flame maple top in vintage tint, caramel sunburst, cherry sunburst, and tobacco sunburst finishes. Basses with alder bodies will be matched with East Indian rosewood or morado fingerboards, while ash bodies will have maple fingerboards.

The Deluxe Satin Series will be available exclusively from Sadowsky’s new NYC Boutique Dealers located across the U.S. and the world. Pricing starts at $3,775 for the vintage 4-string and $3,875 for the vintage 5-string. The modern basses add $100 on each model.
