Sigma in its modern incarnation has built an exceptional reputation for its attention to detail, excellent playability and stunning vintage-inspired instruments.
The 000R-42 is a premium offering from the company. Featuring all solid, yes all-solid construction, this ’42’ Style OM takes direct inspiration from Martin’s OM-42 model. Deluxe binding throughout, gorgeous hand-set abalone purfling and the iconic ’42’ style ’Snowflake’ inlays are featured on this instrument.
Tonally we’ve got the beautiful, well defined harmonic complexity solid Rosewood instruments are famous for. This guitar will only get better with age. An excellent value proposition for those wanting the experience of an all-solid Rosewood OM model without sacrificing attention to detail and playability. Includes a Sigma branded polyfoam case to keep this gem safe!
