Lemme pick a nit there FGM... Seagull only makes backs and sides out of Laminated hardwood... and there's a difference between that and plywood... a subtile but important difference... And the 3 way lamination they use makes for good strong back and sides...
The laminated back and sides don't matter half so much as a solid top, where sound quality is concerned... and all seagull Guitars have solid tops...
So I go Seagull, because they have nice features as above and don't cost 5 grand like a Laskin does...
But like I said, I'm just picking nits...
