Cheers Rich and Kev in answer to the first one , they're both different with different timbre I'd say the Freshman is more responsive to a more subtle style of playing and finger style with very balanced bass mid and treble responce , but with the playing its had over the last couple of months it's really started to open up to me and responds better now to my strumming and clumsy finger style . Flatpicking is superb too . The Sigma is and always has had the lovely treble responce that I like with a little less in the bass department which is probably to do with the smallish body and rosewood b&s . Its an all gloss finish too apart from the neck whereas the Freshman is all matt , this may also contribute to the overall sound although the Sigma does genuinely appear to be the louder of the two . Also for gigging purposes the Freshman has the Fishman pre amp so a bit more versatile for my needs hence why I've advertised the Sigma for sale . Rich I never ever expected to choose the Freshman over the Sigma as I can honestly say I love the sigma more than the stunning Breedlove I used to own , but I've fallen head over heels with the Freshman because of the way its opening up , I can't wait till its fully blossomed as its going to be a cracker . The range your looking at looks gorgeous too , I've not played that model but if the sound and playability is as good or better than mine it'll be a stunner .

Okay Derek cool sounds great. I have been flirting with getting a all mahogany body, but im more of s strummer, I have always invisiged mahogany bodys to be more of a finger picking axe... Would you not keep the sigma or is it for financial reasons. I thought I was the only buying selling guitars, my wife kills me, but you gotta do what you gotta do. haha You will have to change your user name...ha
