Picador History?
Submitted by SibeDad (not verified) on
I purchased a new Picador B24380 in 1982. It remains a wonderful guitar. The parent brand is listed on this sight as Sigma, but my understanding is that it was a trademark of the C. F. Martin Co.. I wish someone was able to clarify the history of this brand.
