DR-7

I'm not looking to sell right now. Maybe down the road I will though. It's pretty rare as far as early SIGMA's go.

Beautiful dr-7

Awesome. I don't think I'd part with it either. I do not yet play, but this will be the guitar I learn on and keep until I'm gone and hopefully pass to my children. I've heard nothing but great things about them, great materials and not too expensive, just my style, a hidden gem that's not overhyped. You do let me know if you ever want to get rid of it, though!

DR-7 Sounds even Better now

Thank you for the nice comments. Man this guitar sounds better now than it did when I got it back the last week of Dec 2012.  I have also verified it has what I believe to be Braz rosewood sides, the back is Indian. Also it is all solid wood...I would recommend these first year Sigma-Martins to anybody..The quality is amazing for the price..They will go up in value once the word gets out.

I have 2, possibly 3 DR-7(s)

I have a 1970 DR-7 (listed here) SN 5053 that I recently purchsed.  I'll never figure out why they did away with the zero fret, it makes the tones so much truer when playing an open chord.  On my other guitars I use a capo on the 1st fret when I want to eleminate the sound of an open string and have a more ballanced tone on open chords.

I also have a DR-7S that I love (listed here), and a SDM-18.  I'm waiting for confirmation of shipment on another DR-7S that I believe I bought (long story) that is a early version of the one I have.  It has the origional headstock, but with the poor pictures I had before I bought it I'm not sure about the zero fret, or the SN.  Figured for $79 I'd take a swing and could simply hit a single, or a home run.
