I did some porch playing with some seasoned blue grass folks about 10 years ago. I had a fairly nice guitar. We played and a guy with a Fender acoustic said in a shocked manner that my Alvarez sounded better than his Fender ( I guess it was a shock because the Alvarez was not American made), anyway, I played someone' really old Sigma. I remember thinking it felt kind of clunky in my hands, but the sound was nicer than the Alvarez. The guy playing it also played the dobro, the mandolin, and the banjo, and he really liked the Sigma. The Sigma probably had medium gauge strings on it, but I would say it was a well broken in mellow sounding guitar that had good projection and tone.
