Sadowsky SS-15 - Sienna Burst

[[email protected]]

Hey Dioxic, I’m a bit confused about the guitar you’re selling. Can you post a photo of the label that is in your guitar. I assumed the pix of the label in your post was from a different guitar as it is a jimmy bruno. Thanks.

Those are pics of my Bruno that *I* posted as a label example.

Hallo Dioxic,

Do you know if it has a nitro or a Poly finish? As I understand the production of the Archtop line changed in 2010. I’ve have wanted a nitro finished SS-15 for a long time now, but I’m not sure if they were ever went out of the factory.

I honestly don’t know. If it is poly, it’s very thin. The guitar has a great acoustic quality given how small it is and unlike some of the heavily coated / finished more mass production archtops you’d play.

ICBW, but I think Sadowsky switched the archtops over to poly some time in 2010.

Hello Dioxic,

where are you located, and can you please upload a photo of the label inside the guitar?

Thanks!

Hello, I’m located on the east coast!

id prefer not the post the label as it has the serial number. Anything in particular you’re looking for? It’s 100% in tact and says the guitar is from 2010

...id prefer not the post the label as it has the serial number...

Why are you adverse to providing the serial number? Such information is helpful in dating a guitar and preventing fraud.

Is this not standard practice? A quick google search will show that this is quite common. What if somebody tries to commit fraud on their end with the serial number by claiming it was stolen? Perhaps this is me being paranoid, but I’ve sold several guitars online and have never had an issue not publicly posting the serial before. Willing to perhaps private message it to interested parties so there’s a record of me sending it, but I’d rather not post it online for everybody on the internet to see.

Hi Dioxic,

I am not interested in the serial number, rather the year written on the label and where you are located.

Also, if it has a hand signature from Roger Sadowsky, indicating that it was set up and quality controlled in New York.

Thanks.

You can display the label of the guitar without revealing the serial number a la Woody Sounds label below, which is common practice.

As shown in this example, the serial number is written on the label (A101), thus the seller’s reluctance to post it.

What if somebody tries to sell a guitar that they don't have, using photos from a previous listing somewhere else? This happened on JGO not long ago. Then there's the issue of counterfeit guitars. Given that some sellers share pictures of the COA, I think your concern is misplaced.

FWIW, it looks like the seller posted a pic of the label on the reverb listing with the serial number covered up.

HI, I'm new here, but considering one of these. Do you still have the guitar?

[Dioxic]

HI, I'm new here, but considering one of these. Do you still have the guitar?

hello! Yes, still for sale.

[Mattgny]

I'm likely not in your ballpark money wise, so, respectfully, I won't pursue this very far. Are you firm on $4500?

Best,

Matt

[Dioxic]

$4500 already seems like a good discount, but what’re you thinking? Also where are you located? If you’re in NYC then maybe we could cut down on shipping cost and pass on savings

[Mattgny]

Regrettably, all I can offer is $4000 plus shipping. It's not a matter of negotiation; my pockets aren't deep enough.
I'm from NY, and now live in Santa Monica, CA. One frustration is that there are none of these guitars anywhere nearby, so I haven't been able to play one. Thanks for listening, anyhow.
Sincerely,
Matt

[Dioxic]

Hi Matt,

they are indeed hard to come by, especially an early production model like this one.

I feel $4500 is pretty fair. I have it listed at $5300 on reverb, so it’s already at a steep discount for forum members. Understand that that may be out of your price range.

I’m not really in a rush to sell, so will hold off for now. Let me know if you feel like you may be able to hit $4,500 at a later date and if it hasn’t sold yet I’ll let it go to you for that.

sorry for the inflexibility for now and will let you know if anything on my end changes.
