BTW, I'm saying grab it if it is one of the DR 41 made in Japan models that was mentioned by Sterling in his excellent summary of Sigma guitars above. Like I said, I lucked out with the one I bought, it seems to be one of the rare gems of the 1980-19084 models, that obviously came from one of the better manufacturers. My guitar oozes character, which is why I'm hanging onto it.

Not a pro quality guitar, as everyone else has noted. But damn near perfection for the price, action, and sound factors, especially over time. I never expected an inexpensive guitar to age as gracefully as this baby has--it's one sweet guitar.
