Sadowsky Jim Hall 2010's, Violin Burst

From Sadowsky: "After Jim Hall’s irreplaceable D’Aquisto guitar became too valuable to gig with, he and Roger Sadowsky spent two  years prototyping to come up with the Jim Hall Sadowsky archtop.

Roger Sadowsky had maintained Jim’s guitars since 1982. Roger and Jim began to collaborate on a Sadowsky model and were committed to the idea that this would have to be a guitar that Jim would want to play, not just endorse. The Sadowsky Jim Hall Guitar met all of Jim’s requirements as a player.

Roger reduced the thickness of the top and back to provide a more acoustic response, reduced the depth of the body to control feedback, designed a new ebony tailpiece with a string ground, and shaped the neck until it met Jim’s specifications. The single Sadowsky humbucker is a PAF-style pickup that provides the classic sound of an electric archtop. 

Incorporating Roger’s sense of aesthetics and design, the result is a beautiful looking, feeling, and sounding guitar that has been enthusiastically received by Jim Hall and many other players worldwide.

Jim passed away on December 10, 2013 and we honor his memory with every Jim Hall Model we produce."

Includes the original hardshell case.
