Just a quick word about Seagulls. Those who have been around here a while,know my opinion on these fine guitars. For the money there is no better buy. These folks harvest and cure their own wood. They build a quality instrument and stand behind them. I got my SG6 with a hardshell case for $240 about 8 to 10 years ago at Elderly. Most of you already know that Elderly is one of the finest, if not the finest string shops in the world. The help is supremely qualified and they are the largest Martin dealer in the world. I was a little down on my luck at the time, having gone through a divorce, and needed a guitar. The sales floor guy, a player himself, asked me one question. "Can you afford a Martin?" "Nope", I replied. He said "Buy this". I played it, and understood. It has a wonderful sound, good action and the company stands behind their product.
