Went to a few "chain store" guitar shops and got the standard $100.00 sigma crap. I have a dr41, great guitar but it’s still not a martin. The best you can due is a bill of sale IF it’s from the original dealer and it’s a guess how long they had it for sale. There is no way to date a sigma by serial #. When was it made? What did it sell for back then How much is it worth now? Thanks. : : I need information on a Sigma Guitar. I have had offers to buy it as high as $2,000. My friend says he paid $800 for it in 1970 and I bought it for $500 from him. It has exceptional sound and very old timey sounding. He had purchased in back in 1970 and it appears likely to be one of the earliest ones made by Martin and this one in Korea. The price tag is still in the case and it said it was an A-1 if that means anything?Ī year ago I purchased an SM-6S from a friend of mine. What a lovely sound and soooo easy to play! Not sure if it is the model you are looking for, but the price tag said $375, plus $75 for the case. It was still pretty much in tune, the strings weren’t even too bad. I pulled it out the other day after more than 20 years of non use. I played it on the road for awhile, and then put it away when I decided it was time to get a ‘real’ job. : I purchased a Japanese made one back in the very early 80s. I would appreciate it if you would email me if you were to know where I might find one! Thanks! I am looking to buy an SM-60 but am having a hard time finding one for sale. They are produced under the watchful eye of C.F. Opinions vary, but the Korean built models are widely considered the best. Since 1970, they have been produced in Japan, Taiwan, and Korea. The Sigma line ( both the guitars and mandoloins) are made overseas. : : The SM-6S is, I believe, an "F" style mandolin, probably a carved solid spruce top, maple back and sides. : : : I have recently purchased a Sigma Mandolin model SM-6S and i was wondering if someone can tell me about this brand, I had not heard of it before. Is the SM6 still for sale? If so, do you have pix? The price tag is still in the case and it said it was an A-1 if that means anything?

The value of Martin guitars can vary from a couple of hundred dollars all the way up to six figures! (Yes you read that right.) Pre-war guitars (made before 1941) are the most desirable and valuable, but still greatly vary based upon the model and condition.
