Sigma's of that era are decently made instruments, but by no means a high value or prestige marque, nor especially sought after. Most examples would be on par with the $200-400 Yamaha, Ibanez and similar today. Like any budget guitar some are quite good, most are OK and a few are duds. (You can actually say the same thing for almost any production brand -- <insert name here>). The biggest factor for tone is whether it has a solid or laminated top.
I fully understand the pictures issue. Half of the threads lately seem to be about photo posting, problems with hosting sites, etc. I refuse to get extra software or set up a separate photo hosting account for no other reason than to post photos here at AGF, so I just don't. I was only asking to gain a better understanding of the cracks you described.
