This short-scale 14th fret grand-orchestral model is reduced in size but not in tone. While it wont push as much air as a larger guitar, it is the ideal travel companion and sturdy work horse for any songwriter or musician. With a dove tail neck join, a bone nut and saddle and a integrated Sigma pick up system the GSME delivers. The Sigma GSME still maintains really warm lows, articulate mids with a clear ringing high end, because, regardless of size, Sigma will never compromise on build quality for any of the instruments they make.
