Thread Name: Ever played a Seagull (guitar)?
Subject: RE: Ever played a Seagull?
More seriously...

A close relation to the Seagull, the Simon & Patrick, can be a worthy purchase for a few less dollars. Mine required a major fret dressing when new, so I also had a bone nut and saddle, Grover tuning machines (the factory ones slipped a bit), and strap buttons installed. All of this was worth the expense because I'd bought a "factory second" to begin with, so the original purchase price was considerably less than the usual street price. Altogether I think I paid about street price, and got a superior guitar. The S&P has a more or less Martin shaped headstock instead of that lovely Seagull shape, but that's okay with me, I don't watch it as I play. A good deal.

Peace, Mooh.
