Sigma GMEL - SE Series - Grand Orchestral - Left Hand
Sigma are well renowned for their high-quality acoustic guitars; but also for guitars that are modestly-priced, so that they are attainable for players of all budgets. The GMEL is one of their more basic models, but its refreshing simplicity and elegant design makes it a fantastic workhorse for left-handed singer-songwriters and home hobbyists alike. Adhering to a "grand orchestral" body shape, the Sigma GMEL possesses and rounded, versatile sound that's perfect for a multitude of musical genres. Fitted with proprietary Sigma electronics, this stunning instrument can be amplified for onstage use or even employed for recording applications.
Classic Construction
Boasting Mahogany back and sides, this harmonically-rich wood offers a balanced tone with exceptional mid-range punch - thanks in part to the GMEL's medium-sized body shape. Joined with a Solid Sitka Spruce top, this helps to bring out a strong top-end presence - giving strummed chord progressions or finger-picked arpeggios all of the stunning clarity they'd ever need to cut through in a mix.
Comfortable Neck
The Sigma GMEL provides a comfy and supportive feel with its "Low Profile" Mahogany neck. Perfectly fitting the hand, this neck shape makes fretting chords an absolute joy, but is lean enough to allow for intricate lead lines or bluesy licks. A genuine bone nut ensures brilliant tuning stability and enhances sustain too - enabling chords or single notes to beautifully ring out.
Sigma-Designed Preamp
The GMEL has been fitted with a Sigma-designed preamp, a high-quality system which allows the sweet sound of this instrument to be translated through any speakers with great conviction. The moment you plug this guitar in, you will feel inspired by its high-fidelity sound! An ergonomic built-in tuner also allows you to quickly make pitch adjustments between songs.
