I like the stuff I understood Frustrated. (some of your comparisons and stuff went right over my super-amateur head) The main reason I started looking at Seagull was because it offered the small body styles – not parlour, but not Gibson Jumbo either, and because they are in my price range (read: inexpensive). One of these days, with some money from my future world-famous folk career (titter-titter), I will invest in something a little more homegrown and call it my own.PS to Richard Bridge: I tend to thump the body for percussion from time to time. You've got me worried I'm going to put my fist right through my future-new guitar.
