Title: Arrived in perfect condition
Review: It’s so fun to play. I never realized how high the tension is on my Sigma Martin until now. I’ve owned an acoustic guitar for 30 years, But I’d only ever pick it up every few years, Learn to play a song and then forget about guitar until the next time. String tension is low and the body is manageable. It’s easy to bend strings and the sound is crisp. Good as acoustic but plugged into the Spark 40, It sounds insanely beautiful. And it really does motivate me to practice every day. I’ve been playing guitar now for a couple months. I wish I would’ve had this set up years ago. Better late than never!EDIT: seven months later, I’m still playing this guitar for a few minutes every day. It hold a tune. Couch player only but feels like I’m on stage with the spark amp and a cheap wireless system.
