You really can't go wrong with Jeff's guitars. He's also rather particular about them. If there's something that you feel is wrong with it (be it sound or whatever), just tell him and he's on it. I can't speak directly to his negras. I have played (very briefly as the owner let me try it) one of his negras and it had the tone you expect to hear. They are very well made guitars, workhorses basically. I have a blanca. Like others have mentioned, his guitars do have that nasal tone to them. However, he can also build them with an added dimension of fullness at the same time (hard to describe this and I think I'm not doing a good job at describing it). Basically, the blanca I chose (from a few of them - all student models but great none the less) also has a fullness to it on the low end (I like this, I used to be a bass player). The one thing that is for certain regardless, is volume. Once Sigurdson guitars have a bit of time in them, they really open up and project outward with a lot of volume. The trick for me has been to learn to work with that volume and not end up making a loud racket. That's more a statement on my lack of skill than on the guitar. For the money, you get a lot more guitar. After a year of playing it often, it will open up and become even better.
