OTHER STATEMENTS REGARDING THE ABOVE:
The body chambering, graphite strips and thicker headstocks in the NYC models began in January 2004 (approx. serial #4000).
Sadowsky Metros are not "mass-produced factory basses" so they afford the player who does not require premium woods or custom options the opportunity to play a Sadowsky at a more attractive price point.
