Great info here!

I just bought a Sigma DR-11 exactly as described in an above post by J. Kaufman on June 16, 05. Same 3 piece back and lots of mother of pearl around the sound hole, the body binding and down the neck. I am a total novice and got the guitar at a pawn shop with a new hard case (that they threw in) which also contained an electric tuner, a sling, a Dean something wooden microphone pickup thingy that goes across the sound hole and a couple of picks. I am teaching myself to play and my daughter and wife are both learning too. Got the works for $179.00 so I expect I did all right eh?

I'm interested in learning more about the DR-11 and it's rarity/production numbers.

Also, several mentions have been made about installing bone nuts, and ebony pins. Where would I look to find these? I'm handy as heck with making about anything and I was wondering about making a nut from something like a piece of deer antler. It would be a piece of cake for me I think, I just don't know about the sound qualities but bone is bone more or less....aint it?

p.s.

Mr. Webb, where are you???????????
