Good points! Unfortunately, you're talking above my pay grade now. I never got around to researching that F-35 guitar when I had it although, at that time, the internet wasn't even a pie in the sky idea yet. And you're absolutely right about the "remembered apples...". Could be that I'm just remembering that F-35 apple incorrectly and that it was in fact on par with the Sigma in terms of sound output.
