Here's a Sigma that I've not seen before. The seller believes that it is from the Matsomoku plant in the 70s. I agree with the country origin, but that logo screams 1980s.
All in all it is an alright looking guitar that seems to be drawing influence from a few styles. The seller also calls it a "hippie sandwich" which is a new term for me. I assume they are referring to the layered laminated body construction.
It was listed for $580 at the time of writing this post, but seems to have sold as it's no longer listed.

- 1977 Burns Artist. The Very First One Made.

guitarz.blogspot.com There's a lot to be said about this Fendar acoustic guitar, and not much of it is good. Look at that very familiar style logo. Then look at it again. And, again. All in all the name Fendar shows up on this guitar 5 times....
- Vantage Neck-through Electric Guitar With Upgrades. Made In Japan
guitarz.blogspot.com: Here we have another fine example of circa 1970s-1980s Japanese craftsmanship. Vantage was one of many brands to come out of the Matsumoku plant and, I believe, made for the Canadian market. There is a lot to like about this...
