Thread Name: Stock a music store: which guitars?
Subject: RE: Stock a music store: which guitars?
Seagull is part of a larger family of guitars under the Canadian company Godin--the others include Art & Lutherie and SImon & Patrick. They're excellent quality, and really reasonably priced--we sell scads of them at Dusty Strings. I mean, you can get a solid-top guitar with nice tone for about $250 (retail) which is just terrific--they've been flying off the wall this Christmas. (They also have a classical guitar line--I think it's La Patrie).
For the higher-end stuff, Martin and Taylor are great (and have some good entry-level models too) and we love Collings and Goodall. Yum yum.
That's my $.02. Of course, I play the harp, so I'm not sure how useful my advice is *grin*
Good luck! Keep the independent music store flame alive!
