I don't know about you, but I am just always hesitant to break out the allen wrench and start cranking on the truss rod. I put a set of brand new Martin SP Bronze medium strings on it, and.hmmmm. I got home and got the swap meet layer of funk off of it easily.just a little dust and the smell of breakfast burritos. Didn't look warped or anything so I took a chance. It had some old loose strings on it, so I couldn't get a good read on the neck. I found this one at the Oceanside CA Swap Meet and picked it up for a mere $75. Those guys at Martin know how to spec out a guitar.

This guitar was really nice sounding and had a very clear, rich tone for a guitar in this price range. So, you have to look at the guitar.get a close look right on the edge of the soundhole. I've even heard that, on some of the '70s Yamaha FG models, they would make some solid and some laminate. So take a good close look if you have one and decide for yourself. I've owned quite a few nicely made Asian factory Yamahas and Brunos and others that have been pretty tricky to figure out. It's a nice standard dreadnought guitar with a solid top.

It is widely assumed by owners and Sigma historians that this is correct though C.F.I got home and got the swap meet layer of funk off of it easily.just a little dust and the smell of breakfast burritos.Oval in the early models a more square shape ala Schaller in style in the middle years and a keystone shape or wing on later versions.For that money I would shop for a used TAK F series of that same era.a little more for your bang.However while some models lasted the entire run from 1970 through 193 others did not and were only offered for a limited number of years so that most models construction dates can be narrowed down to a reasonable range.The DR1ST was modeled after the Martin D-16 from what I could find. But while some models lasted the entire run from 1970 to 193 others did not and were only offered for a limited number of years so most models building data could be reduced to a reasonable site. For this money I would shop for a used TAK F series of the same era. Oval in the early models a rather square shape ala Schaller in the middle year and a key form or wings on later versions. I came home and got the swap hit made by funk from it easily. It is widely assumed that this is correct even if the C.
