Re: SM-6S mandolin

One there right now. 8/24/10
: There is a very nice looking Sigma Mandolin on Ebay as of 02/03/20010. Good luck.
: : : 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.
: : The SM-6S is, I believe, an "F" style mandolin, probably a carved solid spruce top, maple back and sides. The Sigma line ( both the guitars and mandoloins) are made overseas. Since 1970, they have been produced in Japan, Taiwan, and Korea. Opinions vary, but the Korean built models are widely considered the best. They are produced under the watchful eye of C.F. Martin Co. and they tend to be very well made. I am looking to buy an SM-60 but am having a hard time finding one for sale. I would appreciate it if you would email me if you were to know where I might find one! Thanks!
