Anyone heard of Sigma guitars. I used to have one and I loved it. They were endorsed by Martin, if that is the right terminology. The Martin name was on the sticker on the inside of the guitar. The one I had was modeled after the D12. I have a friend who had a real D12 and we compared them for sound and the only real difference was in the lower end, especially the e string. Otherwise my Sigma sounded pretty good. I gave it away to a friend when I moved a number of years ago. I bought a Takemine for more than twice what I paid for the Sigma but you know it just doesn't sound as good acoustically (the Takemine is a wide body with a built in pickup). But my sigma sounded better even through a mic.
