Sadowsky T-Style Custom

Here's the thing about most T-style electrics: they're fantastic at what they do, but they can corner you stylistically. Not this Sadowsky. The HH pickup configuration paired with Roger's proprietary preamp system creates a sonic chameleon that adapts to whatever musical situation you throw at it.

The chambered alder body is where Roger's musicality shows. Instead of the typical solid-body, you get this subtle acoustic bloom that adds dimension to every note. Given Roger's legendary reputation in the jazz guitar community for his outstanding archtops, it makes perfect sense that he'd bring that same understanding of resonance and woody character to a T-style platform. For archtop players seeking an electric with that familiar open, breathing quality—but with far greater versatility—this guitar bridges that gap beautifully.

The striking quilted maple top adds a subtle snap and articulation. When you combine that with the Bora Blue Burst finish, you've got an instrument that commands attention both visually and sonically.

What sets this apart is how it responds to your playing dynamics. The 3-way mini toggle for the preamp allows you to access multiple voices within each pickup position, effectively putting several different guitars at your fingertips.

The Morado fingerboard feels smooth under your fingers—smoother than rosewood but with more character than maple. Roger's choice here adds a subtle warmth to the guitar's voice that complements the chambered body perfectly. Every bend, every vibrato feels effortless, and Roger's neck profile, along with his legendary fretwork, make this a guitar that's hard to put down.

This is Roger Sadowsky's take on what a modern T-style can be—a guitar that respects the classic template while expanding its possibilities. It's the kind of instrument that covers serious ground, whether you're playing jazz, country, rock, or anything in between.
