Hello. I’m about to do something similar. I have a neck already. I wonder what size those tuning machines are? If they would fit my neck, which has holes from Fender 70’s tuning machines. Can anyone tell me?

I've got one and it's AMAZING. Like you said, it sounds great and the build quality is impressive for the price. I mean solid wood acoustics are typically at least double the price. The only thing that stops it from being perfect is the cheap crappy tuners they put on the Naked series. All the other Faith ranges have Grover tuners which I wouldn't have minded paying a bit extra for. Other than that, it's a great guitar and I'm saving up for the HiGloss rosewood version.

i think i've played one sigma, i forget what i thought of it, but i'd never buy one cause i'd buy a martin instead, okay if you're on a budget i won't knock that, but if you want a martin, don't settle, get a martin. what could be worse? buying a sigma gibson. it looks fabulous, all the demos i've watched sound fabulous, but if you want a gibson j200 and can't afford one, well i'd buy another £600 guitar that's original. i mean even epiphone do a decent copy for £350 used. i didn't know sigma and martin had parted company, so, that makes part of my comment irrelevant. furthermore though, my advice is to go out to music shops and play as many guitars as you can lay your hands on, sooner or later one will stand out and it matters not one whit how much it costs or who made it, if it has that "thing" then that's all you want. i've been willing to take the risk and i buy from ebay and if i get a pup then i just sell it on, but i've accumulated four really lovely guitars doing that, a maton ebg101TE, a larrivee OMO3 zebra wood, a 69 epiphone texan and my little plastic martin that's the tops. i have a 2000's gibson J35 that's pretty damn good too, all bought for a fraction of retail price, all outstanding to look at and play.

Thankyou for the advice. I’ve been buying and selling guitars for over thirty years so I have a fair idea of how to find one that I like. The Sigma J200 feels and sounds very similar to my friend’s Gibson J200 but for a fifth of the price. He is frightened to take his to a gig of a studio in case it gets damaged or stolen. I personally have found the cheaper Epi J200 to be quite average, and apart from the looks, is not comparable.

I've had one of these for over a year and it's a wonderful guitar. It is a perfect physical copy of a J-200 in all dimensions except one. And that one is a winner in my book. The thicker C shaped neck is a robust 1+3/4" in width and has a nice comfortable feel. Gibson/Epiphone have various nut/fretboard widths but usually about 1+11/16" in width. I have a bought-new 35 year old rosewood Gibson J-200, a rosewood Taylor 818e Grand Orchestra (Jumbo variant sound-alike), an Epi IBG J-200 (which is not to spec; slightly smaller), and a laminate B&S Epi EJ-200. I ranked these in terms of sound. The Sigma compares favorably sound-wise to the first two (not quite there), has (for me) maybe the best neck of the bunch, and cost-wise is the best bang for the buck overall. And that despite the laminate B&S. I find that big Jumbo laminates have rewarding voices all out of proportion to their humble origins. No, it is not better than a good Gibson J-200, but is simply Wow. As you can tell, I do like Jumbo guitars a lot, and the Sigma is a great instrument in my book. Be well an play well, Don

I'm looking at a J&D MMB bass (Music Man Singray bass copy). It's at a similar price point to the bass you review in this video and as such I imagine the hardware and electronics are of similar quality. Whether or not it ends up being as good as I hope (or as good as your bass) if I buy it, it seems nonetheless that you have found yourself a fine instrument here It's also nice to see that I'm not the only one in the music world who is indifferent about what brand my headstock decal shows (I feel like the only one sometimes); my first 4 string bass was an EastCoast PJ4-BK bass (Fender PJ bass copy) that only cost me around £120 new, which has served me very well (the only thing that should matter)

How depressing the audience are obviously not listening as their chatter is louder than the artiste who they obviously haven't come to see otherwise they wouldn't be talking through the set.

@PaulWilliamGibson Жыл бұрын
Indeed. And this is why I don’t do open mics anymore (well, very occasionally if it’s a good one) but yes, no one interested, most people there are other people waiting to play just looking at their phones without paying any attention. You’re right it’s totally depressing. Luckily I am well known enough locally to be at the stage where I get asked to play local festivals, decent gigs / venues, songwriters nights etc. I play a lot of folk clubs, they are very broad in terms of acoustic music and people actually listen. I think open mics serve a purpose but they are bloody hard work. Still, you give it everything, even if only one person is listening.
@Edward1312 Жыл бұрын
I had one of the earlier J200s AMI made which were the better ones imho because they had rosewood fretboards instead of the man made synthetic micarta. The best ones can be identified by the Martin style Sigma style script logo on the headstock.
