Sigma 000M-15S Parlour Natural 2015
Sigma 000M-15S, natural satin, made in China 2015. Sigma guitars came out of Japan originally, paying Martin & Co a license fee to create accurate copies of their designs. The brand died for a few decades and was revived in the 00s under a similar premise: licensed Martin designs, tidy manufacturing out of China. This model takes the comfy 000 body shape and adds a 1940s-style 12th fret join for a slightly oversized take on the parlour genre. The mahogany body delivers a breathy, warm tone with pleasing balance across the strings. This could be your new little couch cutie.
