1976 Sigma D-35 guitarJapanese exotic Jacaranda Brazilian Rosewood
Just in taken in trade is a beautiful law suite era D-35 Copy type from Sigma Guitars these were authorized by Martin to allow Sigma to build the more affordable option to the Martin D-35 and the same applies today. This example happens to be made from some exotic Jacaranda Rosewoods body overall it is in really nice shape to beautiful and not abused so is a great candidate for our upgrade it’s in our shop for a full set up and upgrades to change to Martin bone nut and compensated bone saddle and solid Bone bridge pins , note: original saddle was an adjustable plastic one with the screws and metal base we removed all that and mounted the 2 compensated saddles together to make a super tight solid fit in the bridge and this increased the sustain and volume along with these natural upgrades I also installed a nice set of Grover tuners and a new set of Martin strings, I de-grimed entire guitar and polished it -lemon oiled fingerboard ..neck is nice and straight , it’s spruce top is nice and pretty darn flat for over 40 years old vintage guitar as is its bridge ..... action is good and tons of room on the saddle to go as low as you want with adjustments made to taste... but playing and sounding great right now...
Note that it’s lable is missing so based on the 3 piece back it’s definitely a D-35 type.
This guitar to me looks a lot like our vintage Takamine F375s we carry many Tak’s and I’ve thought this for a long time that Martin hired Takamine to make these for them under the Sigma name.... sigma went away for many years to recently come back I think China bought the name and has nothing to do with Martin today... but back in the 70’s Takamine did make a great D-35 exotic woods guitar and it looks almost just like this Sigma hummmmmm......
See Pics soon to come gorgeous 3 piece exotic Jacaranda Brazilian rosewood presentation tone woods .... body simply gorgeous
Vintage Japanese guitar well over 40 years old not new or mint but very good vintage. for a song.
