1990s Sigma SDR-41 Dreadnought Guitar

Overview: This fancy-looking, Korean-made, Martin-endorsed, Sigma SDR-41 is a copycat of a Martin D-41 to some extent. It has a solid spruce top but the back and sides are ply rosewood. It's lightly x-braced and sounds big, full, and ballsy.

Interesting features: The pearl trim is eye-catching and the guitar has just enough wear and tear to keep it honest. The neck is a little faster than your typical Martin from the early '90s and has a tighter 12" board radius as well -- so if you like a "Gibson feel" but a "Martin sound" then this might just be up your street.

Repairs included: It's had a level/dress of the frets, saddle work, and setup work. I think Jose worked on this one but it may have been Sarah. In any case, it's playing spot-on and is ready to roll

Condition notes: The intonation at the 12th fret is just slightly sharp if you dig-into it because the slot isn't wide-enough to give perfect compensation (this is a thing on older Martins as well). There's minor wear and tear to the finish (small scuffs, scratches) here and there throughout but, overall, it looks grand. I love how UV light has darkened the top finish to a good, vintage-looking, yellowed color.

It comes with: It's got a good hard case.
