Sigma CTMC 2E Classical, Cutaway Natural Acuostic Electric Guitar with Bag

The Sigma Guitars brand was created in 1970 by C. F. Martin & Co of Nazareth, Pennsylvania. The world's oldest and most traditional guitar maker was feeling the growing presence of high value instruments imported from Japan and responded by bringing in a range of affordable versions of famous Martin models. Some of these early imported guitars such as the DR-7 and DR-45 have since become collectors' items in their own right.

Owned today by a progressive European firm, the Sigma catalogue offers some truly fabulous options for the beginner. The more experienced and discerning player will choose a model that features all solid timbers, a dovetail neck joint, and nitrocellulose lacquer. These guitars sound particularly good, and of course we give them a final setup, making them irresistible to those wanting an American style guitar at a fraction of the price. Shoppers love the very traditional aesthetic, and the close connection to deep guitar culture and heritage.

Sigma CTMC-2E is a more modern classical electroacoustic guitar suitable for beginners and experienced musicians. It features a narrower semi-massive body (80 mm deep) consisting of a solid cedar front and a mahogany back and sides. A rosewood fingerboard fitted with nineteen frets is glued to the narrower mahogany neck (the width of the zero fret corresponds to 47.63 mm).

Sound reinforcement is provided by a company preamp with a three-band equalizer and a built-in tuner. The strings are mounted in the company's classic mechanics with imitation mother-of-pearl pegs. The zero fret and compensated bone saddle ensure ideal vibration transmission of the strings.
