Sigma SATA-400E All-Solid Archtop - Ex Demo

Full Description

All-solid hand-carved tonewoods

The Sigma SATA-400E features an all-solid tonewood construction, delivering a superior tonal experience that improves with age. Its hand-carved AAA-grade solid spruce top offers an immediate and articulate response, making every note clear and resonant. Paired with solid flamed maple back and sides, this archtop produces a focused midrange with excellent projection and natural brightness. These carefully selected tonewoods work in harmony to provide the kind of warmth, presence, and dynamic sensitivity that discerning guitarists expect from a high-end hollowbody. The hand-carving process also allows for greater resonance and responsiveness, enhancing the instrument's natural acoustic voice.

Vintage-style P90 pickup

Equipped with a P90 neck pickup, the SATA-400E brings a rich, vintage-inspired sound to your amplified playing. The P90 delivers smooth highs, tight low-end response, and a slightly gritty midrange growl that is ideal for jazz, blues, and roots styles. From playing complex chord melodies to laying down melodic single-note runs, the pickup captures your touch with clarity and character. Its positioning at the neck enhances the warmth and fullness of your tone, letting you explore expressive, dynamic playing in both clean and driven settings. The simple yet effective electronics design ensures an authentic jazz box tone.

Premium playability and neck design

Designed for a smooth playing experience, the SATA-400E features a maple neck with a soft V-profile that comfortably fills your hand. This neck shape offers an ideal balance between traditional feel and modern comfort, encouraging accurate finger placement and relaxed fretting. Combined with a 24.75” scale length and 1-3/4” nut width, the neck provides familiar spacing for both chord work and intricate melodic passages. The ebony fingerboard adds to the high-end feel, delivering a slick surface under your fingertips with enhanced note clarity and sustain. It’s a neck built for expression and finesse.

Elegant styling with practical protection

Beyond its tonal excellence, the Sigma SATA-400E stands out with its classic visual appeal. Finished in a polished gloss vintage sunburst, it echoes the golden-era archtop aesthetic with style and substance. Gold tuning machines with butterbean knobs add a touch of sophistication, offering both visual charm and reliable tuning stability. Every detail, from the high-gloss body finish to the subtle wood grain, reflects Sigma’s commitment to quality craftsmanship. To ensure your guitar stays in top condition, a rugged hardshell case is included - perfect for safe transport and storage, perfect if you’re heading to a session or a live performance.
