Sigma GMC-STE-BKB

Description

The Sigma GMC-STE is a western guitar that has all the qualities a good and affordable guitar should have. It has a well-shaped mahogany neck that is comfortable to play on, a solid spruce top that gives the GMC-STE a rich and pleasant tone, and good tuning pegs, making it easy to tune.

The GMC-STE is a 6-string western guitar that Sigma builds with a soundbox made of solid Sitka spruce and mahogany. The combination of spruce and mahogany is a classic combination of woods used on many types of guitars – from high-quality beginner guitars to hand-built Martin guitars. The combination of spruce and mahogany gives the GMC-STE a rich tone with high volume, which is suitable for many different playing styles. The neck is also made of mahogany, while the fretboard is made of Micarta – a composite material that works really well for fretboards. As expected, both the saddle and the nut are made of genuine bone, so the contact between the strings and the soundbox is optimal.

The GMC-STE’s OM body shape gives the guitar good balance and comfort, and it is well suited for those who find a dreadnought model too large and unwieldy. The tone in an OM model is focused and balanced, which makes this type suitable for recording.

To keep the price down on this model, Sigma has opted against extravagant decorations, such as body binding and excessive mother-of-pearl inlays, so that every krone you pay for the guitar goes towards tone and playability.

In addition to this, the Sigma GMC-STE is equipped with a Fishman Presys II onboard preamp and an associated microphone. This advanced system allows for easy connection to amplifiers or sound systems and includes features such as volume adjustment, tone controls, a phase switch, and a built-in tuner. Furthermore, there is an easy-to-read LED display and a battery indicator, which makes changing the battery easy and effortless.
