NEW ARRIVAL Sigma guitars are made in China then shipped to Martin & Co in the US for inspection and set up before being sold - so this is a great chance to buy a Martin approved acoustic guitar for a fraction of the price of a US made Martin. This guitar is the equivalent to a 0015SM and has a solid Mahogany top with Mahogany back and sides. Tonally the Mahogany body gives a rich, warm tone, and the 00 size body means the bass and treble response are very well balanced. With the slot headstock, and the neck joining the body at the 12th fret, the guitar has a shorter scale; this gives the strings greater tension which provide the guitar with more resonance and sustain. Overall the guitar plays very easily, looks really distinctive, and is hugely versatile working well for both strumming and fingerstyle. At only a year old the guitar is in excellent condition, and comes in it's original deluxe gig bag.
