Sigma Guitars originated as an offshoot of Martin Guitars. Designed to compete with the rising number of Japanese and imported guitars in the '70s, Martin licensed reproduction of their higher value American made acoustics for production in Japan and later, in China. Discontinued back in 2007, Sigma has been revived and is back and better than ever! The Sigma SIG-000M-15E+ is a super versatile and incredibly inspiring acoustic suitable for players of all styles and standards. With a Solid Mahogany top on Mahogany back and sides, this 000-14 fret guitar offers a rich and detailed tone, great projection and crystal clear note definition. The Mahogany neck features a Micarta fingerboard, perfect for strumming big chords or more delicate fingerstyle work, the Sigma SIG-000M-15E+ is a really comfortable and precise guitar. Great value and classic styling from Sigma.
