Ive got a Seagull flame maple cutaway dreadnaught, and it's lovely to play and look at. I'm delighted with it.
I was told by one guitar shop owner, not where I purchased this, that he would not carry the Seagulls because the finishing details were too erratic -- you could end up with terrible action or unglued perfling, stuff like that.

He had a couple horror stories that I don't recall now about things coming from the factory without adequate glue because they were clamped too tight in the press. But he was also one of those people who had already known for a long time everything he needed to, and was just waiting for someone to come along so he could impart some of his wisdom.

I'd buy one of those cedar topped ones in a minute.
Blessings,
Barbara
