As of Summer 2024, we are ending archtop production. From Roger Sadowsky: "After 20 wonderful years, I have decided to end my archtop guitar production. It has been a great ride and I have loved all of the players I have had the opportunity to work with over the years. I appreciate all of you who have appreciated and supported my work. The only remaining instruments available are listed on the Sadowsky website. There is no change to our regular guitar and bass production."
Sadowsky Archtops will continue to be made for another 12 months in Japan. If you are looking for a Sadowsky archtop on eBay or Reverb, this is a list of my authorized dealers in Japan. I recommend you only purchase from the following dealers.
