** PRICE DROP **

Well-preserved example of the very early Japanese-made Martin Sigma line, circa 1971-75. Model GCR-7... Grand Concert Rosewood. Spruce top, rosewood back and sides, adjustable saddle in a rosewood bridge. Paper label, early Greek Sigma headstock.

 

Action at the 12th fret on the low E is approx. 3/16" -so on the high end of what most might consider a "normal" range. Frets are immaculate. Plays nice and sounds even better - a nice chimey sound in a little package.

 

$275 shipped and PayPaled. Comes with chipboard case.

Thanks Jon - in pristine shape these Sigmas can fetch $400... my price reflects the higher action, which may indicate the need for a simple setup, or it might be on the verge of needing a neck reset. Could be a nice score for someone with more DIY skills than me (meaning more than zero!).

Weren't the early Sigmas with the Greek letter headstock made by Tokai?

 

 

I know the early Sigma electrics we're made by Tokai... not sure about the acoustics, though. If it makes someone buy, then I'll guess "yes"!
