The Sigma SF28CE, Reborn, Revived, and Renewed... is a stunning traditional, premium quality folk-sized guitar with a great tonal personality, and it generates a full, dynamic and open tone with lots of highs and bass. Made with a solid Sitka spruce top and rosewood back and sides, the SF28CE is a very traditional guitar, but its internal construction is a forward shifted, scalloped X-bracing system with some proprietary tweaks. This creates a more modern, more open and more dynamic tonal palette than many traditional folk guitars.
Traditional components such as a real bone nut and saddle, mahogany neck with a dovetail joint and rosewood bridge and fingerboard add to its tonal capabilities and overall quality. And, cosmetically, it is a true classic with ivory ABS binding and inlays.
The onboard EQ system utilizes a dual pick-up system, an under saddle transducer, and a transducer placed under the soundboard. These can be blended between the two on the B-Band control panel. The system also has a dual output, a XLR for direct PA hookup and standard guitar jack for amp hookup.
This is a new guitar, w/ both a factory set-up & a re-check in my shop. Comes w/ a 2yr. warranty As an added bonus you are getting a "TRT" (ToneRite Top) I have placed this top & bridge under a continuous 72 hour ToneRite accelerated play-in process for you, using ToneRite's 3G device. As is the case with all of the guitars from Tallman Instruments... we take the usual factory set-ups to the next level... re-checking/slotting the string clearances at the nut and checking clearances the 12th frets. We rock the adjust the frets to be sure they are level. We dress the frets with Micro-mesh pads to polish them to a shine. The rosewood on the fingerboards and bridge are cleaned with medical alcohol pads and are then treated with a specially formulated natural oil compound used in restoring and preserving wooden antiques and are buffed to a low gloss shine. The total guitar body is then hand-buffed with swirl-removing agents and polished to a "almost-comb-your-hair-in-it" shine. Each guitar is then played all the way up the neck to verify there is no buzzing and to check intonation. Your guitar comes to you absolutely ready to play... except for your initial tuning... as we are believers in shipping a guitar with no stress on the neck. We take our set-ups seriously... and we want to put that satisfied smile on your face when you first sit down with it and strum that first chord :-) Features - Solid A grade Sitka top - Rosewood back and sides (laminated) - Mahogany neck - Hand finished scalloped bracing system - Bone nut and saddle - Rosewood veneered headstock facia - Rosewood fingerboard & bridge - 2-year warranty - 1 3/4" width at nut - D'Addario EXP's strings - Hard Shell Case (case may vary from photo) - B-Band SET65 Dual pick-up EQ, w/ backlit chromatic precision tuner - Dual output jacks, (1) XLR & (1) standard
