Here for sale we have a Sigma DM-4 'Marquis' Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar in Natural Gloss finish. Made in Korea in 1989, this guitar consists of a Laminated Spruce top, Laminated Mahogany back and sides, and a 20-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include Sealed Die-Cast tuners, a Rosewood bridge, and dot inlays with two additional teardrop inlays on the 12th fret.
The gloss-finished Mahogany neck sits comfortably in the hand, with C-shape profile providing ergonomic thumb positioning in all registers allowing for easy navigation up and down the neck. The Rosewood fretboard feels pleasant under the fingers and provides a smooth surface for the user to explore, along with the 16” radius making bending and vibrato techniques a breeze. The dreadnought design fills the arms, providing a dynamic and responsive playing experience, making the user feel the resonance that this guitar produces.
This guitar has a well-balanced and dynamic tone, producing a warm and rich sound, with a strong and clear midrange. The Laminated Spruce top and bracing contribute to the guitar's excellent projection and sustain, producing a bright and crisp high end that is well-articulated, whilst the Laminated Mahogany back and sides offer a warm and deep low end that make chords hum and chime.
