Seagull Guitars
I bought a new guitar the other day. Couldn’t quite afford it yet, with all the wedding expenses the second half of the year has brought, but I was growing restless. I sold my previous acoustic/electric to help cash flow with one of my daughter’s wedding in August, and then have been paying for my own. Anyway, I couldn’t stand it any longer.
I had narrowed down my selection to a Seagull model in the most recent Music123 catalog. But then, on-line, I started to see them disappear. That is was pushed me over the edge…I had this fear that in a couple of weeks I’d be waiting for backorder. So, off to Guitar Center I went.
I got a great deal from the guy who bought my Breedlove back from me. They didn’t have the Seagull model I was looking for (S-series S6 + CW Cedar GII) but instead I found a Performer series mini-jumbo. It has a lot of mahogany, a mini-jumbo design and a really great feel and sweet sound. The guy at the store said it has a spruce top. So does the technical specs page, but the main product page says cedar. So, although I am confused, I don’t really care because I love the guitar.
If you’re looking for a great guitar at a super-reasonable price, look no further than the Seagull line. I am thrilled with playability and tone. Here’s a link to their site:
All for now….
Peace!
I’d love a new acoustic but I spent £900 on a new bass guitar last year so in order to remain married to my dear long suffering wife I shall have to wait.
