Quality Construction for Exceptional Sound

The Sadowski SMX21VJ features an Okoume body, a roasted maple neck, and a Morado fingerboard. This combination of materials produces a rich and dynamic tonal palette.

• Okoume body: lightweight, low density, with pronounced highs and a wide dynamic range.
• Roasted maple neck (C-profile): comfortable and responsive for precise playing.
• Morado fingerboard: hybrid tones between rosewood and maple, with a pleasant feel similar to ebony.
• 21 fret markers with a 34" scale length and a 12" radius for optimal playability.

A prized wood species for a rich tone

Okoumé, native to West Africa, has been used for decades in the maritime and aerospace industries and is increasingly recognized in the manufacture of electric guitars. Similarly, Morado—also known as Pau Ferro—is a valuable wood that adds additional tonal depth to the instrument.
