from “Making It” with Terry Wollman Hosted by Terry Wollman
Forging the “Sadowsky Sound:”The Story of Luthier Roger Sadowsky and Sadowsky Guitars Roger Sadowsky is one of the most highly respected instrument makers in the world. His basses and guitars are played by many of the world's greatest artists including Jim Hall, John Abercrombie, Pat Metheny, Lee Ritenour, Chuck Loeb and bass players Marcus Miller, Will Lee, Rickey Minor, Michael Rhodes, Verdine White and Jason Newsted. Roger grew up in New York City in the 1950s and began playing guitar in the spring of his junior year in college. While working his way through a PhD program in Psychobiology at Rutgers University, he became friends with a group of professional folk musicians and soon became obsessed with the guitar. A year later, he left his PhD goals behind. After over 4 decades of producing some of the world's most coveted instruments, Roger's greatest joy continues to be witnessing the complete satisfaction a customer receives when making music with a Sadowsky instrument.
