Description

A cool take on classic tone. The Sigma DM-SG5-BK is for players after the renowned booming sound of a mahogany dreadnought, with the added directness of a shorter scale length neck. This black beauty also possesses fresh new looks – bound in white and embedded with Sigma's cool split block inlays.

Construction

Expect plenty of presence, power and warmth from the mahogany back and sides and premium solid sitka spruce top. Together with the dreadnought size, you've got an acoustic capable of filling the room and carrying a tune by the scruff of the neck.

The DM-SG5-BK is a blast to play, too, thanks to the low profile matching mahogany neck at a shorter-than-standard 24.75" scale length. That's great for a couple of reasons: it makes those jumps between frets that slight bit more manageable, and it gives the sound a unique, punchy attack.

Electronics

Need more volume? The DM-SG5-BK also features outstanding Fishman Sonitone electronics, allowing you to replicate your acoustic tone through a PA system by simply plugging into the input jack.

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.
