Thread Name: The little Seagull guitar
Subject: RE: The little Seagull guitar
I was at a friend's wedding in San Marcos and the band leader (a guy named Doc Toler) was playing one of those amplified with a built-in fishman pickup. I'd never seen one before, and it sounded really nice through his p.a. I asked him about it and he said he'd had it three or four years and used it a lot, and was very happy with it. He even let me play it, and I thought it played quite well--even high up on the neck. It wasn't very loud unplugged, which I guess should be expected from a tiny guitar with medium strings, but it sounded sweet, was very light weight, and the short scale length made the strings a little easier to bend than on a full size acoustic. It was a pretty plain, straightforward guitar except for it's size, but it seemed to be fairly well made, and the owner certainly had a lot of miles on it.
