I love you guys. This is the first thread I started, hoping for one or two bites and the response has been amazing. And ya Marion, I'm an old Valley boy from back some. I'm southern Ontario way now and miss 'da lads' like hell. I'm actually probably going to buy my Seagull at Eleventh Fret in Toronto. They do some custom work there so I can get it all real pretty like. I haven't seen their work yet (gonna head down there in the next couple o' weeks), but I've heard they touch up the Seagulls and varnish them a little on the cedar top. Is that a mistake? I found the couple of Seagulls I've played with satin (or NO) finish made a brushy sound when I strummed. Does that get annoying? It was like I was my own snare brusher. Whatcha think?
