Seeking further reductions in labor costs, in 1994 they stated importing instruments from Taiwan, and then Indonesia by the time Martin folded the brand in 2007. The Sigmas were good guitars, though not wildly successful, and in 1984 production moved to Korea. So, the Sigma brand was their effort to fight back. This was particularly important to them as around that time many Japanese companies were building guitars that looked just like theirs, and it was hurting their business.
Sigma guitars were introduced in 1970 as an attempt by the venerable Marin guitar company to get a toehold into the entry level guitar market by licensing the production of instruments from overseas. This is an early 1990s Sigma SDM-18 6-string dreadnaught. We are going to look at something a little different today - a pretty cool budget acoustic guitar that I picked up at the monthly flea market they have by my house.
