I haven't seen a Seagull in years, but I remember playing one in college. I thought it had an interesting look, sound, and feel when playing it. I've wanted one since then. Maybe I'll add it to my wishlist.

Most Seagulls are mattes/satins, but they offer gloss coats on the top only within their line and then full gloss finishes on some upper tier models, just like Martin and Taylor. In the world of guitars in general, mattes/satins are not only the least restrictive as it pertains to natural soundboard vibration and resonance (never a bad thing), they are cheaper because they are less labor intensive to make, so you see more at the retail level. The same applies to Gibson's "faded" series guitars - among the reasons they are cheaper than "standards" or "customs" is a less labor intensive finishing process.

Well,you know,anytime you buy a new guitar,it just sounds so great for a while,but I think this one will keep me interested.
It's kind of funny really, I have decided that I am going to get out and do more live performing..just acoustic stuff you know. I have an old Takamine so I went and bought a single coil soundhole pick up for it and put it in,walked right past this Seagull.
went back a couple of days later to buy some odds and ends,picks,new capo etc..just happened to pick this one up,and I swear, it sounds almost identical to the Takamine. Blindfolded I couldn't tell the difference,and neck and action are almost identical feeling.
When he told me what he could take for it,I was a little mad at myself for not picking it up before I bought the Fishman.,but Oh WEll.
