Playing a great worship song on this!!! What's this like, I'm tempted with the all solid wood, which comes with a better pick-up. Good for leading worship with??
Coincidentally, I use this in a small church, which I play with an acoustic trio (grand piano, drums and me). The all solid one is great. But I went back and forth with it and this won, tonally and acoustically. However, Id run it through a preamp anyway, so that takes out the pickups in the equation because either way, I’ll make it sound good through the PA and I do sound great with my eq and acoustic IR’s. Also, this specific example (among the affordable acoustic range) is the closest to the J45 sitting in the same store so it was a no brainer. I like it. Its warm and a bit subdued. Which what I want because its perfect to be just a nice bed for the vocals to shine through and not compete with. Depends on your needs and approach on how you want to sound and why you want to use a certain type of acoustic. I want a very warm, round and very big sounding bass-y acoustic to fill the room, which slope shoulders are known for.
@@BardOfTheSixString thank you very much for your reply. I tend to use an Eastman Grand Auditorium with a full band, so was looking at something for single/small band worship. Your description sounds great, and it would always be a second guitar. Just wanted to get a real person review of it, as it looks and sounds great. Pickup wise, it would only cost 100 odd quid(English!) to fit a better pick-up anyway!!!
@@davidhawker1119 all good! In the bigger church I serve in, I’m on electric guitars and my main rig is electric. I needed an acoustic to help out the small church I use this with and I couldnt justify a J-45 for something I use once a month in. And I love investing in electric guitars more. Hehe.
I would think so too. They’re great at this price point. The whole guitar is rock solid without being overbuilt. Stays in tune for weeks. Neck is a tad thinner than I like but the slightly wider neck makes for a nicer fretting feel for me. Its one of those guitars that are really on point for the price they are selling these for. Which is rare.
@@BardOfTheSixString Sigma are overpriced. They're Asian factory guitars. Beautiful, reliable, good-sounding. But they cost 30-50% more than beautiful, reliable, good-sounding guitars from other brands. Cort, Yamaha, Ibanez, Alvarez etc. Some of their solid-top guitars, like this one, are in price range of all-solid Corts, Epiphones and even HAND-built Eastmans.
@@LegsON to be fair, I think they’re pretty well-priced. But we do have different thoughts on pricing anyway. I agree with Eastmans, but the only Eastman i like is the all solid E10SS and E20SS which is more expensive than the All Solid Sigma.
Wonderful demo!😊
@@user-wuniii thanks man

It'll take time but, in very few years guitarists, will realize how good sigma are.
