The Mandolin

The Mandolin is a stringed-instrument that originates from the 'Lute' family of instruments, and adopts a hollow body design with 8 strings. Mandolins have been widely used in many musical forms across the years, most notably with bands such as R.E.M, Lindisfarne and by The Smiths.

Spruce & Maple

The Sigma MA-6 features an F style body shape, with traditional style with a scroll top on the body, and also headstock. With a spruce top, the Sigma MA-6 delivers a broad dynamic range that accommodates many different playing styles. Spruce also produces a strong projection, as well as a strong soundboard.

As well as this stunning body, the MA-6 also features a maple neck, mounted with a rosewood fingerboard and rosewood bridge.
