To Rick with the DR14.

Rick, I am allmost positive that all Sigmas imported and sold by Levin was all laminate. I have had that information first hand from people with background in the Levin company, and it is also stated in the Sigma catalogs distributed by Levin.

Levin had their own people sourcing instruments from Japan, and in the beginning they were sold under the brand name Nippon Best. Nippon Best were available in both Gibson style and Martin style. Later they branded all Japanese import guitar Sigma, and there were still models starting with SG which had a typical Gibson shaped headstock. These are the only Sigmas I have seen which does not have a Martin shaped head.
One example here:

For those thinking all "greek-Sigmas" have solid top, I can say for shure that my greek GCR-7 (sideways M and zerofret, and adjustable bridge) is all laminate. I have reset the neck and inspected the wood under the fretboard carefully, there is no doubt.

Still a great sounding guitar.
