My first real guitar... my cedar top Seagull S6... I've had her now for 12 or 15 years at least... Cut my musical teeth on her... her frets are worn nearly flat... her face is scratched and worn and dinged, and I know where each and every one came from... I pulled the crappy "Shadow" magnetic pickup out of her and now she sits beside the sofa, tuned down a semi tone...

No guitar I've ever played sounds better than my old girl...

I like the way it sounds in a dark and empty room"
