Full Description

The Mandolin

The Mandolin is a stringed-instrument that originates from the 'Lute' family of instruments, and adopts a hollow body design with 8 strings. Mandolins have been widely used in many musical forms across the years, most notably with bands such as R.E.M, Lindisfarne and by The Smiths.

Spruce & Maple

The Sigma SMA-6 features an F style body shape, with traditional style with a scroll top on the body, and also headstock. With a spruce top, the Sigma SMA-6 delivers a broad dynamic range that accommodates many different playing styles. Spruce also produces a strong projection, as well as a strong soundboard. Combined with a solid maple body, the Sigma SMA-6 offers a warm tone with perfect sustain and responsiveness, and an overall versatile tone.

Real Bone Nut For Enhanced Sustain

The SIG-SMA-6 also features a real bone nut, providing greater resonance and sustain, when compared to other materials. Its rigid properties provides a longer lasting nut, and will keep your strings perfectly in place without slippage.
