Recently I wanted to buy a Travel guitar. As I work away from time to time and wanted something small I could take with me.
I went to my local shop and they had Martin and Sigma travel guitars.
I initially went to check out the Little Martin and walked out with a sigma TM12.
Both play nearly identical Tonally. Sigma felt better actually made of wood instead of kitchen top HPL. Sigma came with fret board inlays too...
Prices. Sigma TM 12 was 280 euro with Electronics 330 euro. Martin Lx1 was 420 euro with electronics 500 euro.
Martin lx1e ed sheeran signature with African mahogany top (Sapele) which only comes with electronics 600 euro (rip off) Sigma with Mahogany top TM15 280 euro with electronics 350 euro.
Electronic systems on both are identical Fishman systems.
I bought the basic model acoustic TM12 for 270 (got a tenner off) They are up to 290 last time I looked. I wont be playing live with it so no need of electronics in my book.
Big saving... Your paying for the name...
Also whilst there a guy told me that the good sigmas like 000r-28v are every bit as good as Martin X series for a lot less money
