Seagull and the other brands coming out of Quebec are all excellent, and very low-priced. I also saw a very nice Yamaha classical guitar in Orillia a few days ago...inexpensive and great! Phone me about that one. It's at True North music, where they also have some very nice steel string guitars. If you want to drive up to Orillia any day this week, I'll help you out...it's fun checking out guitars together anyway, and it might help you out some if I'm there to check on the fine points.
