[Tunes]

I respecfully don't agree with any of the above posts - I think a Sigma is a fantastic guitar for the price. These are guitars made under license to Martin using Martin specs, including copying the internal bracing and everything else that makes a Martin - except solid back and sides (Sigma's are usually laminate) and ebony fretboard (Sigma's are typically rosewood fretboard), and the tuners are not Martin tuners.

But for $300-400 you can get as close to a Martin sound as a Martin without paying $2,000.

I bought a mint 80's Sigma DR-35 in Canada for a hundred bucks more than the amount you mentioned (for my goddaughter). I found it to be a great git. I think this is a very good deal, assuming of course the guitar is sound in all respects.
