Hi Everyone,

Wondering if anyone has ever heard of this Sigma model which I bought from an old family friend!! She said her husband had bought it a "guitar" show in the early 80's.

I have been told by 2 local shops that its a solid body rosewood (vertical bracing on the sides) with a solid spruce top (the grain matches) - they had never seen a Sigma that looked like this.   The original warranty paper says the Model Number is s2000 ("2000" is stamped on the inside) but I think its a mistake, there is no other identifialble model number on the guitar -it has the body of a D28. The serial No is 1390581.

The inside is also stamped with "sigma guitars made in Japan for Martin Co", but the headstock does not have the sigma 'logo' rather a "Cats Eyes" inlay. It also has inlay snowflake/diamond position markings on the neck, inlay around its body, and around the sound hole.

At first I though it was an Anniversary Sigma made by Martin but the descriptions in other postings don't match. Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated. I can provide photos for anyone who is interested!!

Thanks,

Pierre
