Anyone played a Sadowsky LS-17??

I want to get either an LS-17 or a Jim Hall. I've heard a Jim Hall but not an LS-17. Has anyone here either played one or knows where there might be some kind of a recording of someone playing one. Would also be interested in any reviews. I haven't been able to find out much about the LS-17. Thanks.

The Sadowsky LS-17 is a very intriguing guitar. I have found the same as you regarding actual reviews or user comments... not much is on the web yet. Hopefully there will be more info in the near future.


Cheers,

Here is a thread that I found a while back on The Gear Page with additional info on the LS-17... some of it from Roger Sadowsky himself.

post #53 on page 4 of the above link has a link to Rogers photo gallery with more pics of Russell Malone playing the LS-17.

Does anyone know who makes the PU installed on the LS-17??? All I can find out is it's an original PAF style humbucker with a black cover, and also I know that Dimarzio makes the one on the Jimmy Bruno model.
