Sigma

Sigma guitars were founded as a reaction to the dwindling output from US guitar manufacturers in the late 1960s in the wake of guitar sales becoming dominated by cheaper models coming from Japanese manufacturers catering to a lower-budget market. Sigma set out to create an American brand that would offer more affordable guitars to a fast-growing market.

Built by specially trained staff in Japan in state of the art factories, Sigma launched their first line of acoustic guitars to the US market in 1970. Models from this early period are highly sought after and extremely hard to find due to their outstanding quality. Premium components and materials such as solid Sitka spruce tops, rosewood and mahogany backs and sides, bone nuts and saddles and traditional rosewood bridges, give Sigma guitars their unique and much sought after tone and quality.

Focus on the tonal qualities of these earlier vintage models are mixed today with modern elements to produce a more open, warm tone with lots of mids and bass. They have established a somewhat legendary reputation as one of the leading brands in acoustic guitars over the 46 years they’ve been operating and withheld it to this day with their ever-growing base of satisfied customers.

Sigma DM-1ST

A wonderful guitar at a brilliant price. Well, this nice sunburst example of the Sigma DM-1ST is not a standard Sigma model as it is a custom Just Music model made by Sigma Guitars in sunburst finish. You can get this guitar in natural finish everywhere but if you like the sunburst one just order it from the folks at Just Music. We really like the Sigma DM-1ST and consider it as one of the best beginners or backup guitars out there. It looks good, it feels good, it sounds good. The guitar we received had a nice looking Mahogany body and extra comfortable neck. the sunburst finish was well done with the Sitka Spruce top half visible through it. Most low budget acoustic guitars suffer from poor fret and intonation job, that was absolutely not the case with the Sigma DM-1ST-SB, no stingy points or dead notes could be found. For those of you who require amplification, be sure to check the DM-1STE or DM-1STE-SB.

Sigma TT-12E-SB+

A travel companion. Travelling is fun. It is much more fun though when bringing a guitar along. The Sigma TT-12E-SB+ is a great travel companion as not only it is small, but also good sounding and equipped with a nice piezo pickup for the performers amongst you. Prices below 500$, it is really one you should consider when shopping for travel guitars.

642_Sigma-000M-1ST-SB+-JustMusic-Edition.jpg

High end features at a low price point. The Sunburst Sigma may come in at a low price, yet this guitar has some surprising high end features. This compact 000 sized Sigma has a solid sitka spruce top, mahogany sides, back and neck. You could be forgiven for thinking the price was wrong due to the solid top. The guitar also features a bone nut and saddle giving that authentic tone plastic just cannot match. Also the finish of the guitar is not standard to this price point, the 000M-1ST-SB+'s ultra thin finish adds to the high quality feel, and as you inspect the guitar further youâll even notice a dovetail neck joint. Use our player to hear just how the Sigma 000m-1st SB+ sounds.
