ROGER SADOWSKY & HIS TEAM OF BUILDERS WERE ONE OF THE FIRST CUSTOM BASS MANUFACTURERS; THE COMPANY HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME. THEIR HANDMADE INSTRUMENTS HAVE GONE THROUGH SEVERAL REFINEMENTS OVER THE YEARS, IN BOTH FEATURES & FABRICATION PROCESS.
WE HAVE SUPPLIED PICKGUARDS TO THEM ON & OFF FOR MANY YEARS; OUR PARTS HAVE A PATTERN NUMBER WRITTEN ON THE BACK WHICH CAN BE USED TO ORDER A NEW PICKGUARD.
NYC SADOWSKY INSTRUMENTS: THESE HANDMADE INSTRUMENTS FREQUENTLY HAVE THE PICKGUARD FINISHED OUT IN THEIR SHOP WITH CUSTOM NECK POCKET, SO YOUR GUARD WILL BE SPECIFIC TO YOUR INSTRUMENT.
ROGER SAYS: If your Sadowsky NYC is older than #6000 (2011), you should send your pickguard in to be used as a template.
METRO SADOWSKY INSTRUMENTS ARE MORE STANDARDIZED & IF YOU HAVE OUR NUMBER ON THE BACK, OUR PATTERN SHOULD MATCH YOUR PICKGUARD.
ON SADOWSKY PICKGUARD ORDERS, WE WILL NEED YOU TO SEND YOUR ORIGINAL PICKGUARD TO OUR FACTORY FOR DUPLICATION; IT WILL BE RETURNED TO YOU WITH THE NEW PICKGUARD. THIS GUARANTEES A PERFECT FIT.
MOST SADOWSKY BASSES ARE J-BASS SIZE, AND WE CAN CUT THEM IN ANY COLOR WE OFFER AS SHOWN ON THE PAGE BELOW:
FOR THE J-BASS SIZE GUARDS, COST TO DUPLICATE FROM YOUR ORIGINAL IS ABOUT:
SINGLE PLY WHT, BLK, WBW, OR BWB: $49.00
SPECIALTY COLORS: $53.00
PEARL OR FIGURED COLORS: $73.00
TORTOISE SHELL & EXOTIC COLORS: $80.00
IF EXTENSIVE CUSTOM OR HAND CUTTING IS REQUIRED, A NOMINAL SERVICE CHARGE MAY BE APPLICABLE.
USPS SHIPPING TO A CONTINENTAL US ADDRESS FOR A GUARD THIS SIZE IS ABOUT $15.00; 2 PICKGUARDS CAN GO IN THE SAME BOX AT THAT RATE IF YOU NEED A SECOND GUARD.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEND IN YOUR PICKGUARD FOR DUPLICATION, PLEASE FILL OUT & PRINT OUR "CONTACT" FORM & USE THE ADDRESS ON THE FORM FOR MAILING YOUR PICKGUARD & CONTACT SHEET. PLEASE PACK YOUR OLD PICKGUARD CAREFULLY.
PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, AND BEST WISHES FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUCCESS WITH YOUR MUSIC.
