Sadowsky Electric Nylon, Broadway Model

Roger Sadowsky's Electric Nylon guitar hits all the right notes for me - it's a brilliant evolution in nylon-string design. I've watched Roger develop this instrument over the years, blending classical tradition with electric innovation in that gorgeous Broadway body shape. There's something almost addictive about how it sits in your hands and invites you to play.

The chambered okoume construction gives you that wonderful resonance while keeping the whole package lightweight - I can play this beauty for hours without fatigue. That '59 Burst transparent finish? - Pure eye candy that never gets old.

What really knocks me out about this guitar is the electronics. That custom Barbera pickup paired with Roger's buffer pre-amp captures everything I love about nylon strings without any of the typical amplification headaches. No wonder artists like Keith Richards, Pat Metheny, and Lee Ritenour have gravitated to Sadowsky nylon electrics - they simply deliver when the red light comes on.

I'm particularly fond of the neck design with its 12" radius ebony fingerboard on maple. It gives you the wider spacing nylon players need (1⅞" nut width) but somehow feels immediately comfortable to electric players as well. And those custom Sperzel tuners? They keep everything rock-solid in tune - a genuine game-changer for nylon strings.

Every time I pick up this Electric Nylon, I find myself exploring new territory. One minute I'm playing jazz voicings, the next I'm diving into classical techniques or experimenting with fusion ideas. It's the kind of instrument that keeps surprising you with its versatility while never losing that soulful nylon-string character we all crave. This guitar doesn't just respect tradition - it pushes it forward with real musical purpose.

ABOUT SADOWSKY GUITARS
Mention the name Roger Sadowsky to your average guitar player, and you'll likely elicit a "Roger Who?" But that name is spoken in almost reverent tones amongst working musicians. Sadowsky has built this reputation by giving the modern guitarist and bassist what he needs--a no-nonsense, versatile, and reliable electric guitar that performs great and sounds better. Of course, these are claims made by every guitar company in existence; but Sadowsky Guitars is one of the very few companies that can actually back it up. Sadowsky Guitars is based in Long Island City, in Queens New York where founder Roger Sadowsky built the business from the ground up in 1979, after 7 years of guitar luthier training. Today, the Sadowsky company has around 10 employees and caters to guitarists such as; Walter Becker, Jim Hall, Chuck Loeb, Russell Malone, Jimmy Bruno, and Lee Ritenour.
