Teletodd: Looks like no one is going to leap right in here so I'll do what I can. I have played several Eastman guitars and thought them quite good but the Jim Hall Sadowsky is one of the very best I've ever played. I do a lot of solo gigs, big band stuff and loud jazz combo stuff. I've had it just about a year now and can't say just how much I love this guitar. It had just the sound I was looking for the first time I plugged it in and it is my favorite. My other guitars are a Gibson L4CES, a Gibson Howard Roberts Fusion. I had a 2005 ES-175 but sold it because I did not like it.
The reason I like the sound. It's a straight jazz guitar sound, warm and rich but with a nice zing. It's a sound that does what it's told through about any amp. Can't say anough good about it.
Hope that helps. Good luck.
Boy, this forum has really quieted down, hasn't it?

Sunflower, no they`re not sold separately. I asked Roger Sadowsky a while back. I think the pickup was custom designed by DiMarzio. But if I remember correct I think he uses the Dimarzio 36th Anniversary pickup in his new archtop model.

hehe, I've put in site blockers so I stop wasting so much time on the `net! Otherwise I'd be making plenty of noise.

Whew! Thank goodness. I thought you'd all converted to other types of music.
