Subject: RE: sigma guitars
Wow! I've been trying to find some info on my Sigma guitar for a year or so and, as has been said by others, I've learned more in this thread than anywhere else. It's a DT-3 model probably from the mid-80s and I'm pretty sure it's a laminate but it sounds great to me. It's acoustic/electric and I play it through an old Fender Musicmaster bass amp. The tubes really give it a warm sound. It really doesn't quite stand up against my friend's all solidwood Blueridge BR-160 though. The best thing about mine is the appearance. The top (layer anyway) is kind of an orange colored sunburst in flamed maple. Also has a matching flamed maple headstock with gold colored Grover tuners (not original) The bridge pins are brass and have tops that match the flamed maple of the soundboard and headstock (even showing a "grain"). Beautiful guitar. Probably not worth much money-wise but that has no meaning to me since it was given to me by my friend for my 40th b-day.
