The Sigma 000A White Pearl Acoustic is a stunning guitar with premium appointments and high-quality materials that contribute to both its visual appeal and tonal excellence. Here’s an overview of its key features:
Key Features:
Body Shape:
- 000 (Auditorium) Size: The 000 or auditorium body shape is designed for a well-balanced tonal output with great projection. It’s comfortable for players, especially those who prefer a smaller body size while retaining the full sound.
Tonewoods:
- Top: The guitar features a solid European spruce top (AA grade). European spruce is known for its responsiveness and clarity, providing an articulate and vibrant sound that excels in dynamic play.
- Back and Sides: Flamed maple back and sides not only provide a striking visual with its figured grain but also offer a bright, clear, and focused tone. Maple is known for enhancing the high-end frequencies, giving the guitar excellent note definition.
- Finish: The polished white gloss finish gives the guitar a unique and elegant look, adding to its stage presence.
Fingerboard and Bridge:
- Fingerboard: The ebony fingerboard adds to the premium feel of the instrument, offering a smooth and fast playing surface with a touch of warmth in tone.
- Bridge: Like the fingerboard, the ebony bridge enhances the guitar’s tone and sustain.
Electronics:
- LR Baggs EAS-VTC: This highly regarded electronic system provides a natural and dynamic amplified tone. The Element Active System (EAS) offers an under-saddle transducer with a simple volume and tone control for easy adjustments while playing live.
- Fishman Sonitone: An additional electronic system that provides excellent sound quality, ensuring that the guitar sounds as good plugged in as it does acoustically.
Nut Width and Playability:
- 1 3/4" Nut Width: This wider nut width offers more space between the strings, making it ideal for fingerstyle playing, while still being comfortable for strumming and flatpicking.
Accessories:
- Soft Shell Case: The guitar comes with a soft-shell case for protection and easy transport.
Sound and Tone:
The combination of a solid European spruce top with flamed maple back and sides creates a guitar that excels in clarity, brightness, and responsiveness. The European spruce provides a punchy and resonant sound, while the maple adds articulation and a defined high end, making it ideal for styles that require precision and detail.
Visual Appeal:
The polished white gloss finish and flamed maple back and sides give the guitar a sleek, modern aesthetic, while the white pearl accents add a luxurious touch. This guitar stands out both visually and sonically, making it perfect for players who appreciate both style and substance.
