I own a Larrivee that was purchased to replace a Seagull that got destroyed by United Airlines. The Seagull product line, IMO, is simply the best value for the money available. By the way, I don't care for La-Si-Do's other product lines. My Seagull was a great combination of action and voice. And it aged wonderfully. Virtually every player that picked it up remarked at what a great guitar it was. It absolutely broke my heart when it got damaged beyond repair. I think I paid about $220.00 US for it years ago. I would commend these instruments to you strongly.

One proviso. Be very picky when you are buying any guitar. If you settle on Seagull as a brand, play a lot of Seagulls until you find the one that fits. All instruments within a brand are not the same.

By the way, I love my Larrivee too.
