Sigma 10th Anniversary Acoustic

This really is a nice playing and sounding acoustic. My wifes parents bought her this guitar while she was taking lessons when she was a young 15 year old.

Here are some cool comments that I've found about this guitar:
In 1980, Martin produced 100 Anniversary Sigmas (model 10), a solid mahogany dreadnought; equip one of these with a brass or ivory saddle, ebony bridge pins and medium strings and you can hunt down D-18's in the heaviest brush and stomp them to death --- it's a very loud and impressive guitar!

This Sigma is a 1980 model 10 Anniversary Edition Made in Japan.It has 20 frets with a solid spruce top which is heavily bearclawed.The back and sides are solid mahogany.The pick guard and body binding are tortoise shell and the finish is gloss nitrocelulose laquer over all.The fingerboard and bridge are rosewood.My understanding is that there were only 100 of these AnniversaryEdition D18 style Sigmas made to commemorate the end of the solidwood Japanes line. It has diamond and square fret markers and bridge decorations with pearl Martin style headstock logo and the word"Anniversary" inlayed at the last fret. Basically what we have here is a D18 with D28 HV fingerboard markers.
