Sigma DT-42 Dreadnought Acoustic, Natural Overview
Traditional acoustic guitar in dreadnought design including softshell case
The Sigma DT-42 produces a rich and warm sound thanks to its extensive dreadnought shape, which is excellent for powerful strumming. In addition, the flat neck with a low profile makes the acoustic guitar very easy to finger in all 20 frets, so that even complex chords and finger patterns can be mastered with little effort. In addition to numerous inlays and open Grover tuners, the instrument is equipped with high-quality bone hardware that guarantees clean intonation over the entire scale length of 645 mm. The scope of delivery includes a sturdy, yet lightweight Sigma SSC-D Softshell Case.
Construction and woods
Thanks to a solid Sitka spruce top, the mid and treble frequencies unfold very clear and defined. The razor-thin finish and bracing ensure that each note lasts and fades into the overtones. Laminated Tilia back and sides complement the sound with flat bass frequencies. The mahogany neck features a micarta fingerboard that is comfortable to play.
Hardware and Design
The 44,5 mm wide bone nut is adjusted to the compensated bridge inlay with millimetre precision so that the 6 steel strings intonate cleanly in all frets. Open tuners allow precise tuning and give the instrument a noble appearance. The black fretboard and bridge feature filigree Inlays that round off the instrument’s appearance in a very tasteful way.
