Key Features
Product Ref: 83104
Like the Acoustic RM-140, the Sigma RM-140E is also crafted with an all-mahogany body, and offers an attractive dark grain along with a superb tone. Mahogany produces strong tone with clear, bright trebles and an earthy character. This wonderful tone is enhanced with the concert body shape, that delivers a punchy midrange character to the mix. This type of body shape also offers comfort, and is well suited for seated players.
Bluegrass fans will love the Sigma RM-140E, with its iconic look and distinctive tone. A cone resonator delivers its sound by carrying the string vibration through the bridge to a spun metal cone, producing a loud brash tone that many people associate with blues and bluegrass types of music. Resonator guitars were popular before the electric guitar was invented due to their natural acoustic projection. Its striking appearance includes the legendary cover plate that also adds to the tone.
Equipped with a Tesla pickup, the Sigma RM-140E allows players to reproduce the unique tonal character of their resonator guitar for larger audiences, or occasions where extra volume is need. This simple and unobtrusive pickup captures that signature tone with perfect accuracy and resistance to feedback. Achieving the optimum tone is easy, with control options for Volume and Treble, mounted on the cover plate.
Another feature of this striking guitar is the real bone nut that offers greater resonance and sustain, when compared to other materials. Its rigid properties provides a longer lasting nut, and will keep your strings perfectly in place without slippage.
For added perfection, the Sigma RM-140E resonator is finished with a set of EXP16 strings from D'Addario, and feature plain steel strings and hexagonal cores made of revolutionary NY High Carbon Steel. Players can expect an ideal balance of volume, projection and comfortable playability.
