What is the origin of the Jim Hall Guitar?
Roger Sadowsky: I have been maintaining Jim Hall’s guitars for over 15 years. Several years ago, I began to think about designing an instrument based on Jim’s guitar that would be affordable for jazz players. I told Jim of my idea and he was very encouraging. After almost four years of prototyping, I finally created a guitar that Jim was happy to play and put his name on. In blind listening tests, Jim and his friends consistently chose the Sadowsky.
