Sadowsky SS-15 Archtop

The SS-15 is the newest member of the Sadowsky Archtop family.
The all acoustic brother of the Semi-Hollow, the SS-15 features the same body as the Semi, but is all acoustic with traditional jazz guitar appointments and styling. The thin body provides a more immediate acoustic response than it's bigger siblings with no compromise to the SS-15's amplified tone. The 1-3/4" nut width and 14 frets to the body give the SS-15 a familiar comfort to any jazz guitarist. For the touring guitarist, the SS-15 is a perfect size for overhead airline bins and is more roadworthy that solid wood instruments.

SPECS:
14-3/4" body
1-3/4" body depth
5-Ply Laminate Flame maple contruction
24-3/4" scale length, 14 frets to body, 1-piece mahogany neck
Ebony fingerboard with 1-3/4" nut width
Abalone Cat's Eye inlays
Ebony bridge, pickguard and tailpiece
Sadowsky True-Tone compensated ebony bridge saddles.
Ivoroid binding
Black hardware
Custom wound vintage PAF style pickup with black cover
Price: $3975 w/hardshell case

Thinner, smallish bout but still playable acoustically? That's what my right shoulder has been aching for.

Gorgeous! Nice size for solid body players.

I love the "Jim Hall" binding with the clear coat over it.

What are the neck profiles on your archtops?

And what's the availability? Are there any available through you or dealers or is this an order-and-wait thing?
