Description

Sigma are renowned for their high-quality acoustic guitars; modestly-priced so that they are attainable for players of all budgets. The GMEL is one of their more basic models, but its refreshing simplicity and elegant design makes it a fantastic workhorse for left-handed singer-songwriters and home hobbyists alike.

Adhering to a "grand orchestral" body shape, the Sigma GMEL possesses and rounded, versatile sound that's perfect for a multitude of musical genres. Fitted with proprietary Sigma electronics, this stunning instrument can be amplified for onstage use or even employed for recording applications.

Classic Construction

Boasting Mahogany back and sides, this harmonically-rich wood offers a balanced tone with exceptional mid-range punch – thanks in part to the GMEL's medium-sized body shape. Joined with a Solid Sitka Spruce top, this helps to bring out a strong top-end presence – giving strummed chord progressions or finger-picked arpeggios all of the stunning clarity they'd ever need to cut through in a mix.

Comfortable Neck

The Sigma GMEL provides a comfy and supportive feel with its "Low Profile" Mahogany neck. Perfectly fitting the hand, this neck shape makes fretting chords an absolute joy, but is lean enough to allow for intricate lead lines or bluesy licks. A genuine bone nut ensures brilliant tuning stability and enhances sustain too – enabling chords or single notes to beautifully ring out.

Sigma-Designed Preamp

The GMEL has been fitted with a Sigma-designed preamp, a high-quality system which allows the sweet sound of this instrument to be translated through any speakers with great conviction. The moment you plug this guitar in, you will feel inspired by its high-fidelity sound! An ergonomic built-in tuner also allows you to quickly make pitch adjustments between songs.

Electro-Acoustic Guitars

Electro-acoustic guitars combine the natural sound and feel of an acoustic guitar with built-in electronics for amplification. Fitted with pickups and preamp controls, they allow you to plug directly into an amp, PA system, or recording setup while retaining an acoustic character. They’re ideal for live performance, rehearsal, and home recording, offering volume control and tonal adjustment without relying solely on microphones. Electro-acoustic guitars suit players who want the warmth and responsiveness of an acoustic instrument with the flexibility to play amplified when needed.

Acoustic

Electro-Acoustic

Electro-acoustic guitars are acoustic instruments fitted with built-in pickups or microphones that allow them to be amplified or connected directly to a PA system or amplifier. They retain the natural acoustic tone and feel of a traditional acoustic guitar while adding the convenience of onboard electronics.

They are commonly used for live performance and recording, especially in situations where consistent volume and clarity are needed. Electro-acoustic guitars often include controls for volume and tone, and sometimes built-in tuners, making them a practical choice for gigging musicians who want an acoustic sound with modern flexibility.

Left-Handed

Left Handed guitars are specifically designed for players who favour their left hand as the fretting hand, offering a comfortable and natural playing experience without compromise. With reversed body shapes, control layouts, and string orientation, these guitars ensure proper balance, playability, and access to all features exactly as intended.

From classic electric designs to acoustic models, left handed guitars are available across a wide range of styles, tones, and price points. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to upgrade, choosing a purpose-built left handed instrument allows you to focus on playing and expression, rather than adapting to a setup that doesn’t suit you.
