I wasn't saying any thing against Seagull. Guitars made in factory situation assembled"by hand" aren't what I am talking about. In a factory situation, an individual piece of wood, the top for instance, cannot be "voiced" the braces shaved, depending on the stiffness of that individual top,because of the time necessary to do that process.I am asking about guitars,such as Grit Laskin makes opposed to a factory assembled (hand assembled,I agree)instruments. The few Seagull guitars I have seen were well made,clean, playable instruments the intonation was good, but those I have inspected were made of laminated material(plywood). Again I am not trying in any way to take away anything from Seagull, and qualify everything I said based on those few Seagull's I have had my hands on.
