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.After several prototypes, Roger refined the |
Jim Hall Guitar by reducing the thickness of the |
top and back to provide a more acoustic response. |
He reduced the depth of the body to control |
feedback, designed a new ebony tailpiece with a |
string ground, and shaped the neck until it felt |
just right to Jim.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. Sadowsky Guitars is |
honored to have had this association with the |
premier jazz guitarist, Jim Hall. Jim passed away |
on December 10, 2013 and we honor his memory with |
every Jim Hall Model we produce. and more: |
