Sigma OMRC-1STE-SB Acoustic/Electric GuitarIn the late 1960s the situation for US guitar manufacturers became difficult: guitars that were made in Japan, looking very similar to US guitars, were flooding the market but at a much lower price. These guitars increasingly endangered the US manufacturers dominance on the market, and a few American companies reacted to that development in an appropriate manner: They did not take any legal steps but instead launched a counter offensive. That’s when “Sigma Guitars” was born.In 1970 “SIGMA”, the brandname for acoustic guitars, was launched. They were built by specially trained staff in the most efficient guitar factories in Japan and then sent to the US for inspection before being released for sale and shipping to the music stores.The first Japanese made Sigma guitars were quite different to the instruments built in the following years in other countries.
Sep 28, 2009 Some solid body electric guitars were made by Tokai Guitars Company, LTD. After finishing, 'Each Sigma instrument was brought into the Martin factory to be inspected and adjusted by Martin personnel before going to the authorized retail store for retail sale.' The Sigma guitar line was discontinued in 2007.
After several years of production the manufacturing of the guitars was moved to Korea, with new model numbers in place, and the development of a new logo.From then on every single guitar featured on the headstock the following words with pride: “Sigma Guitars Est. 1970”.“Sigma Guitars” were soon to have an excellent, even legendary, reputation. Some models were said to be of outstanding quality, both, in construction and sound. That’s why it is striking, but not surprising, that there are hardly any second-hand Sigma guitars up for sale.
Most owners still swear by their instruments and would never part with them. There are Sigma fans, Sigma communities, Sigma websites; and even collectors have specialised in Sigma guitars.AMI in Germany have taken over the Sigma legacy and are committed and obliged to this tradition.
