Sigma SOM-50 50th Anniversary OM Guitar with Solid European Spruce top, Solid Cocobolo Back and Sides

Sigma is universally respected here at Merchant City Music for its ability to consistently produce outstanding player’s guitars. It’s very exciting to be stocking this limited edition 50th Anniversary SOM-50 model, alongside its SD-50 sibling. Make no mistake, guitars with this level of build and material quality should cost vastly more than these two beauties do, making them not only collectors pieces but real steals!

For us, the real standout feature has to be the woods, especially that stunning Cocobolo back and sides. Custom guitar builders will tell you that Cocobolo costs many hundreds of pounds as an upgrade, not least because of how difficult it is to work with. Prized for its stunning figuring and tone, Cocobolo is part of the Rosewood family of woods - redder in colour than Indian or Brazilian Rosewood, with balance, power and a tonal complexity all its own.

These woods are combined here in a traditional OM body - the body style of choice for fingerstyle players who prioritise balance and articulation. Not quite as loud as a dreadnought, the OM makes up for this in refinement, responding to the skilled guitarist’s most subtle inputs. The pinched waste and shallower body also make it very comfortable to play seated.
