In reply to HB1:
About two years ago I did a lot of research to find a good quality, reasonably priced guitar. My searches often came up with Seagulls as being just that. I went to a few guitar stores around Vancouver, BC which sold them and I found the best price of about $400 at Prestige Guitars. They didn't have any in stock at the time, but said they expected a delivery within about three weeks. I went back to the place several times, but the expected Seagulls were still, "..on the way"
After one of these visits, on my way home, I called into a pawn shop which had a moderate selection of musical equipment, and hanging on the wall was a Seagull S6+ Spruce. I strummed it a while and had a good look over it, and it seemed to be in very good condition, so I bought it for $150. I think it was a great deal. The serial number says it was made in 1997. There is hardly a mark on it and best of all, of course, it sounds beautiful.
Since then I have tried several other acoustic guitars, including Martin, Yamaha, Larravie, Cort. Therefore low to high in reputation, but I think my Seagull sounds as well as any of those others. I play it most days and it always gives me pleasure. If I lost mine I'd buy another.
