Description

The Sigma DM12E is a 12-string electro acoustic designed for players who want shimmering jangle with the punch of a full dreadnought. It brings the iconic chorus-like sparkle that lifts strummed parts, fingerpicked patterns and open tunings, making it a great partner for singer-songwriters, folk players and indie performers. With onboard electronics you can plug straight into a PA or audio interface and keep your tone clear and consistent on stage or in rehearsal. The body has a familiar feel, the neck is reassuring in the hand, and the stable hardware helps the extra string tension stay under control for confident performance.

Built to inspire beyond entry level, the DM12E steps up with quality tonewoods and careful finishing that reward developing technique. A solid spruce soundboard delivers dynamic range and clarity, while a mahogany body adds warmth and depth to those stacked octaves. The neck profile is comfortable for longer sessions, and tidy fretwork supports clean chords right up the neck. Factory electronics are voiced to translate the natural acoustic character, with discreet controls and an onboard tuner that makes quick adjustments effortless. The overall setup is aimed at balanced playability, reducing fatigue and making 12-string voicings ring evenly without excessive effort.

For UK tuition and school ensembles the DM12E provides a reliable, motivating platform. Clear note separation helps students hear harmony parts, and the built-in tuner encourages good habits between pieces. Its versatile voice fits classroom rock, folk groups and worship settings, and the robust construction is well suited to practice rooms and regular transport. Whether you are preparing graded repertoire, layering textures for GCSE performance, or adding sparkle to home recordings, this guitar offers strong value that will stand the test of time. It is an instrument you can grow with, moving confidently from practice to open mics and small stages.

Features

Chiming 12-string voice with dreadnought power

Enjoy the instantly recognisable shimmer of a 12-string paired with the projection and low-end authority of a full-size dreadnought. The DM12E adds dimension to strummed parts, detail to arpeggios and sparkle to open tunings, making it ideal for solo performers and ensemble work alike.

Solid spruce top for dynamic, articulate tone

A solid spruce soundboard delivers a lively response, strong projection and clear note definition. Combined with a warm, supportive body, it produces a balanced acoustic character that lets complex 12-string chords ring with separation and presence.

Plug-in ready with onboard tuner

Factory-fitted electronics provide a clear, natural amplified sound for rehearsals, open mics and small stages. Discreet controls and a built-in tuner make it easy to shape your tone and stay in tune between songs without reaching for extra gear.

Comfortable, confidence-building playability

The neck profile and careful fretwork are designed to keep 12-string tension manageable, supporting comfortable fretting across first-position chords and higher up the neck. A balanced setup helps reduce fatigue and encourages clean, even voicings.
