Solid Sitka Spruce & Mahogany Construction
The Sigma DMC-STE features a solid sitka spruce top which produces a versatile sound that is able to accommodate numerous genres and techniques with ease; from lighter fingerpicking styles, to heavier more aggressive strumming patterns. In addition, its stunning sitka spruce top also yields a crisp and articulate tone with a broad dynamic range, and a focused, clear sound of deep lows, warm mid-range, and bright singing highs. Furthermore, the solid top is paired with mahogany back and sides, which produce a resonant distinct warmth. Additionally, used as back and side panels, the mahogany delivers a meaty mid-range, producing punchy, woody tones with plenty of depth and complexity that will please most playing styles.
D-14 Fret Cutaway Body
With a D-14 fret cutaway body, part of the dreadnought family, players are certain to benefit from its rich, full-bodied, and commanding voice. The DMC-STE’s D-14 fret body offers superb volume and projection whilst maintaining overall tonal balance, perfect for a wide range of genres and a loud acoustic performance. Its big body blended with its solid sitka spruce top and mahogany construction gives the DMC-STE a powerful response with plenty of resonance and sustain. In addition, the mighty and commanding voice the DMC-STE projects is perfect as a vocal accompaniment, as the singer/songwriter is able to push their diaphragm to the max without feeling too loud against the guitar’s volume, as it will sing as loud as you do. Furthermore, the big and bold dreadnought body offers a comfortable playing experience, although it is better-suited to players more comfortable with bigger-bodied guitars, and those with a longer reach. For added comfort, the DMC-STE also has a venetian cutaway profile, allowing players to perform more technical skills further up the fingerboard, providing easy access to upper frets.
Fishman Isys+ Preamp
The Sigma DMC-STE comes equipped with a Fishman Isys+ preamp, offering basic sound tweaking for live and rehearsal environments. The on-board preamp features rotary controls for volume, bass and treble; allowing a player to add a little extra bass or treble to their amplified sound whilst a phase button can be used to reduce undesirable feedback when plugged in. In addition, the preamp also features a convenient built-in tuner that has an easy-to-read LED screen, perfect for tuning up or down within the darkest of venues, as well as being ideal for precise and easy tuning when playing acoustically. With this sophisticated preamp system, the Sigma DMC-STE is perfect for the performing musician.
Mahogany Neck & Micarta Fingerboard
Constructed from mahogany, the Sigma’s neck delivers a resonant rich warmth that responds superbly to many different playing styles with equal ease. Additionally, the neck has a low profile shape for added comfort and a better grip in each position up and down the neck. Furthermore, the neck is topped with a micarta fingerboard which offers a smooth playing experience whilst adding sonically pleasing tones to the guitar’s overall sound.
Real Bone Nut
The DMC-STE features a bone nut, which offers excellent resonance and sustain, along with an authentic appearance. A bone nut also delivers a very balanced tone, and will last a long time. In addition, this type of nut naturally self lubricates and helps you stay in tune for longer
