Sigma Martin USA DR-35N 1981

Sigma Martin USA guitars were only built in USA from 1981 to 1982. The only 2 models ever produced under the name of Sigma Martin USA were the DR-28N and DR-35N. These guitars had specifically assigned serial numbers ranging from 900,001 to 902,908 (2,907 in total.) These serial numbers are documented by C.F. Martin & Co. and to this day remain the only Sigma related serial numbers that are publicly available.

These "N" instruments were partially assembled in Japan and were imported to Nazareth ("N") and the Martin guitar factory as "kits". There they were completed and finished alongside the regular Martin production line. Bridges and tuners may have been installed, as well final sanding and finishing before strings were installed and a final set-up was done. Because more than 30% of the work was completed within the borders of the United States, Martin was legally allowed to designate them as Made in U.S.A

Overall it is in a very good shape considering its age. There are some chips and dings on the guitar and I tried to show major ones in the pictures listed. There is also one ding on the neck but does not impact playing at all. The bridge shows some cracks between bridge pin holes but according to the original owner, a guitar tech told him that they won't increase further. The action at the 12th fret is 6 mm.
