Default Unexpected new Sigma!

I was playing with the idea of having a more afordable acoustic that I would keep in my living room and not worry too much about humidity.

At first I was looking at Seagulls, Taylor 200, Sheerans, etc...

Then I found store carrying Alvarez, Sigma and Cort.
I was really not interested in these brands, but I was very impressed with Alvarez and Sigma.

It's a DM-18. Laminated back and sides, micarta fretboard and bridge (less humidity concern), bone nut and saddle. Solid top.
The open gear tuners are really nice.

It had a higher action at first, but I had a good feeling.
I asked them to sand the saddle a bit, change the strings and I felt in love!
I almost got an Alvarez Artist parlor, but the laurel fingerboard put me off.

Nice guitar, how much? Bought my Sigma DR-9 for $300.00 new in 1976--still has held up remarkably well-enjoy!
