Hi Arthur. Dog carrier for vespa scooter.
Good question as there is very little I.D. info on the web.
Certain guitar models built in the late 1970s can be used to demonstrate the old-style 6 digit serial numbers. It is estimated that Gibson's Kalamazoo plant continued to use the 6 digit serial numbers through 1978 and 1979. So double check the serial numbers on those 1970s L-5s, Super 400s, and Super 5 BJBs!

Hi I bought an used Sigma-Martin guitar from a friend becouse it sound beautiful! I would like to know if anybody could help me to date this guitar. The model is CG- 1ST or CG-IST (it´s dificult to read) and serial number is: 99090007 - Made in Korea. Here is a link with a demo recording I made using the.
The guitar is a copy of a Martin 000-18. Given the date of purchase, it was probably made in Korea. The actual model number is of little or no importance.
Sigma guitars are very nice entry level, backup or stage instruments. There is a lot of unfounded praise levied at these instruments, mostly because of their association to Martin. Most owners think they're more valuable than they truly are. Although Sigmas had very clean workmanship, it is still a 25 year old Asian import and subject to all issues (or stregnths) found in similar brands.
Like any other guitar, regardless of the maker, the condition, playability and structural integrity of the instrument cannot be 'guessed' except by a hands on evaluation. I've seen both exceptional and exceptionally wonky Sigmas of the same vintage and model. It's kind of a gamble. However, the exceptional ones are some of the best values in the used low-end market.
A guitar of this vintage would sell in the Midwest USA for around $125-$150 in Very Good to Excellent condition WITH a case. It is no more or less valuable than a Takamine or Alvarez instrument of the same age. Of course, it all comes down to the price of the sight unseen/unexamined/unplayed guitar. I don't know what the original owner paid, but given the place of purchase, it was likely MUCH more than if were bought from an independent retailer.
Thanks for the photos. 000 sized acoustics are my ab-fave!
