Sigma TM-12E+ Travel Guitar With Fishman Isys T Preamp

The Sigma TM-12E+ is quite possibly one of the best electro-acoustic guitars in the Travel Series, even rivaling its inspiration, the LXME Little Martin in sound and design. It has all the love, care and attention to detail you would expect from a Martin but at almost half the price!

Possibly the most impressive feature is that the TM-12E matches the LXME with the legendary Fishman ISYS T Onboard Preamp System. It comes complete with EQ tone shaping, phase controls and a pre-wired Fishman sonicore pickup, meaning you can perfectly amplify the TM-12Es bright tone. This superbly put together travel guitar is perfect for a holiday or a band tour!

In the late 1960s the situation for US guitar manufacturers became difficult: guitars that were made in Japan, looking very similar to US guitars, were flooding the market but at a much lower price. These guitars increasingly endangered the US manufacturers dominance on the market, and a few American companies reacted to that development in an appropriate manner: They did not take any legal steps but instead launched a counter offensive. That’s when “Sigma Guitars” was born. In 1970 “SIGMA”, the brandname for acoustic guitars, was launched.

Now a new line of Sigma branded guitars are on the market through AMI Musical Instruments GmbH in Germany.

As a distributor of fine acoustic and classical guitars for over 25 years, it is a great honour that we were able to obtain for some parts of the world the rights of the time-honoured name “Sigma Guitars Est. 1970” as well as the distinct Sigma logo.

Our business partner and guitar manufacturer is one of the most respected makers who has been building outstanding quality guitars for over 20 years.

Sigma Guitars have an excellent, yes even legendary reputation. With outstanding quality both in construction and sound, it is striking but not surprising that there are hardly any second-hand Sigma guitars up for sale. Most owners still swear by their instruments and would never part with them.
