SIGMA DM-5 reviewed by Bruce
Bruce
I'm the original owner of this guitar and bought it when I was 16 or 17. I'm 56 now. THis is a solid made in Japan copy of DM 5 Martin. I believe it cost a couple hundred buck in 79 or 80 when I bought it. I see people talking about whether to buy one for under 200 bucks today. I would not sell this one for under 4-500 unless I needed the money desperately. Good product and sounds even better now that it has aged roughly 40 years. I also own 2 Taylors, A 76 Telecaster (my bar mitzah present from 43 years ago),an 80 american strat, Ibanez artcore, and an ibanez tmb100 bass.
