Comments | Here is a lovely 2011 Sadowsky Jimmy Bruno Archtop. It’s in great condition with one small chip at the end of the headstock, plays very well and has a wonderful smooth sound.TheSadowsky Jimmy Bruno archtop model is based on the instrument built for Jimmy Bruno, featuring a compact, fully hollow body with tone bar bracing. The body is made of a highly figured 5-ply laminate maple, with a mahogany neck to add midrange to the compact maple body. The results are very well balanced – physically and tonally. |
