This amazing and beautiful instrument is a Sutch Guitars Sigma VIII. We think it's the only Sigma VIII that Jason had built. Built by an exceptional UK luthier this guitar has DImarzio De-activator pickups, all hipshot hardware (the BEST) which includes the bridge and tuners. It has a volume control, three way selector, and a kill switch. Wood is solid mahogany for the body and neck, with a spalted drop-top cap. The back of the neck on this is really quite slim and flat, meaning you feel like you are playing a slightly larger 6 string...it's exceptionally comfortable, and the sounds like a BEAST with the De-activators in.
