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.

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.
