Sigma JR12-1STE
If six strings just aren’t enough shimmer for ya, a 12-string acoustic might be just the ticket. Fortunately, Sigma has seen fit to release its own electro-acoustic 12-stringer, the JR12-1STE, for the tidy sum of £383.
Conveniently, a Sigma-branded box has just landed at TG towers, so join us as we unbox and revel in this guitar’s double-string goodness.
For the full review of the Sigma JR12-1STE, check out Total Guitar issue 248, on sale 25 November.
