Here for sale we have a Sigma 000M-15E+ acoustic guitar in Satin Natural finish. Made in China in 2020, this guitar features a dovetail construction comprising a Solid Mahogany top, Laminated Mahogany back and sides, Mahogany neck and 20 fret Micarta fingerboard with matching bridge. This instrument is equipped with a Bone saddle & nut as well as Chrome Grover Rotomatic tuning machines. An undersaddle piezo pickup is installed, and is wired to an on-board Sigma preamp (please see luthier report below).
The Mahogany neck plays well, with what might be described as a moderately-sized even 'C' profile which fills the hand nicely for a smooth and responsive playing experience across the register. The nut width provides ample string spacing at 1.6875", ensuring great note separation and accurate fretting. The Micarta fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers, and with its traditional 16" radius is practical for a wide range of playing styles and techniques.
The acoustic voice of the Sigma 000M-15E+ is very well balanced, as you would expect from a 000 guitar. The small body size produces an intimate sounding tone, with a surprising amount of dynamic range. The low end is understated yet precise, whilst the mid range is punchy and clear. High frequencies are rich and shimmering, adding a sparkle to every note played on the guitar. A very well made and great sounding instrument which punches well above its weight.
