Here is some information from the Sadowsky site.

Sadowsky Guitars is extremely proud to announce the release of the Jim Hall Signature Model Archtop Guitar. The result of 4 years of prototyping and collaborating, the Jim Hall Guitar is designed for the working musician as well as the discriminating collector. Sadowsky Guitars is honored to have this association with the premier jazz guitarist, Jim Hall.

Sadowsky Guitars has maintained and repaired the guitar that James D'Aquisto made for Jim Hall. This guitar has been Jim's main guitar for the last 15 years. Roger and Jim began to collaborate on a Sadowsky model that would be more than just a copy of his D'Aquisto. In addition, Roger and Jim were both committed to the idea that this would have to be a guitar that Jim would personally play, not just endorse. The Sadowsky Jim Hall guitar meets all of Jim's requirements as a player.

After numerous prototypes, Roger continued to refine the guitar by reducing the thickness of the plates to provide a more acoustic response, reducing the depth to control feedback, designing a new ebony tailpiece with a string ground and reworking the neck until if felt just like Jim's D'Aquisto. Special attention was paid to an all nitrocellulose lacquer finish with a distinctive "Jim Hall Sunburst". Incorporating Roger's sense of aesthetics and design, the result is a beautiful looking, feeling and sounding guitar that has been enthusiastically received by Jim.
