This was my backup guitar as I travelled a lot between the US and Australia, often via Korea. Martin started making the Sigma-Martins in Korea in 1984 which was the year I bought this guitar on a visit to Seoul. I have played it ever since and it is in near perfect condition with no blemishes. It has a solid spruce top, scalloped bracing, a 3-piece Indian rosewood back and laminated rosewood sides, a mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, “tortoise” pattern pickguard, and Sigma-Grover tuners on bone nut. Frets are in great shape, it tunes perfectly, and has an easy action. It gives a loud, booming dreadnought tone with well-rounded bass and treble. For local pickup. Am willing to ship but will cost extra for packing shipping and insurance from Evans Head NSW plus some time!
