SIGMA M4 - mandolin - MIJ
In 1970, guitar maker Martin created a line of inexpensive guitars made in part from laminated wood, instead of the solid wood used in their main line.
Sigma was made in Japan from 1970 - 83. Later the instruments was produced in Korea. SIGMA - The name may have originated by turning the Greek letter Sigma (Σ) on its side.
In 1973 when Martin bought Levin, it became the headquarters for Martin Guitars and their Japan import brand Sigma Guitars in Europe.
Type E' Sigma headstock label - imported instrument for the European Market. Probably before 1978-9.
This sunburst mandolin is in excellent condition and from this era 40-50 years ago.
