Serial Numbers. Some early 70s Sigma guitar serial numbers started with 7* suggesting the 197* build date (e.g. 75XXXXXX possibly equates to a build year 1975.) It is widely assumed by owners and Sigma historians that this is correct, though C.F. Martin cannot, or will not confirm this.
To date your C. Martin guitar examine the end of the neck block inside the instrument. The serial number will be stamped below the model designation.

SIGMA DM-18 The Sigma DM-18 was introduced around 1978 when Sigma was the Japanese budget line of Martin guitars. The Sigma model names were chosen to match with Martin model numbers: the solid spruce topped Sigma DM-18 was closely modelled on the Martin D-18 dreadnought. Also available as a 12 string (DM12-1), the Sigma DM-18 was discontinued around 1996. In 2011 the German AMI Musical Instruments Company bought the Sigma brand name and relaunched Sigma guitars again, including the DM-18 model, this time being produced in China. Read more

Sigma Lens Serial Number Lookup. I am planning to buy an used lens with serial number 1018286, any idea if this too suffers from the softness issues which some sigma 150-500mm lens suffer from. Canon lens date codes and EF lens chronology. The remaining seven digits '0001555' are a basic serial number (this was a very early lens. : I need information on a Sigma Guitar. Serial #SK108589. When was it made? How much is it worth? Does Martin Guitars still handle Sigma Guitars? Is there any photos of one?

SIGMA DR-7 reviewed by Guitar King

I bought a Martin Sigma DR7 in my youth in 1978 brand new in a music store. I wrote hundreds of songs on that guitar through the years, took it on the road through all types of weather conditions, took it in the studio. Always loved the sound, loved the simple look, loved the reliability and integrity of the instrument. Love the recorded sound - great transparency with great presence low to high. Now I have acquired 2 more DR7's on the used market. Though I own much more expensive guitars now, the DR7 is always like running into an old friend - someone you can count on and someone who always has your back. The DR7 is great for beginners, great for pros, great instrument to create and be inspired on. Sometimes in life things come along for a little while that are special. The DR7 fits into that class.

SIGMA DR-7 reviewed by GbASS

I purchased a 1979 MIJ DR-7 a few years ago. It was in almost new shape, with a little finger wear on the fretboard, had no belly bulge, and sounded good with old strings as it was, but I took it to a skilled luthier and had a bone nut and saddle installed, neck stabilized (even though it was solid, he told me), and a setup. He told me that I had a nice guitar, and was impressed with it. I installed D'ddario 80/20 custom-light strings. Wow. It sounds as good as a lot of 60-70 era Martin D28's and D35's I have played, with a shimmering bright, well-balanced tone, and LOUD!. I use 11's so that I can hear myself sing. I have also played a few other Sigmas that did not sound close to this one. I guess age and care has a lot to do with final sound. If you can get a good one, have it inspected and set up by a competent luthier, and you will not be disappointed.

SIGMA DR-7 reviewed by SD

This is a 1970 SIGMA DR-7 made in Japan. Although it doesn't say that on the label. I assume it was made there. It is one of the first ever SIGMA MARTINS. Has a zero fret which is a great indication it was a 1st year model. The serial # is very Low. I have yet to see a lower one online. It has SOLID INDIAN ROSEWOOD BACK & SIDES. Solid Spruce Top. It sounds great like any other Vintage Martin from the late 60's early 70's. These guitars if you are lucky enough to find one compete with any Vintage Martin from that era. They were made right. The headstock inlay appears Brazilian. These DR-7 Rosewoods are quite possibly the best Sleepers around in the fake Vintage Guitar world. Where Dealers charge a fortune for Guitars of this quality.
