The Sigma CR-7 reflects the company's effort to offer a traditionally styled classical guitar with solid construction and quality materials at an approachable price. Built with a solid cedar top and laminate rosewood back and sides, it produces the warm, responsive character that has long made cedar-topped classicals a popular choice among nylon-string players. Its clean, understated appointments keep the focus on the instrument itself, with a natural finish that allows the wood to speak for itself. Decades later, these early Sigma classicals continue to stand on their own as dependable, well-made instruments from a period when the brand was earning a reputation for delivering impressive value. This 1980 example is a nice representation of that philosophy, offering classic nylon-string design with the maturity that comes from years of careful use. Includes hard shell case.
