Cheap Sadowsky?

[ricksterphil 318]

I realise they're B-stock, but they still seem cheap as chips

The quality control on these early, Chinese Metros seems to be decidedly suspect if the examples in the thread that discusses them are anything to go by (sorry, I don’t have the link).

You can get a new one from GuitarGuitar for a few pence more. Don't be fooled by the name!!

They seem to have quite a few of them with defects. Can't see Sadowsky being very happy at this sort of exposure.

Add  vat as well now, so an extra 20%.

Only £629.00 on Thomann.

There are 7 B stock, new Metro Expresses on Thomann (if looking, don’t forget to add VAT). Add that to the eBay ones and that’s a lot of sub-standard Sadowskys available in the wild. If I were Roger, I’d be pretty p155ed off by that.

+VAT and "collection" fee. So add on about another £140.

Indeed, and the one in the Ebay listing is in Germany, so same applies
