Value For Money :
Excellent
This guitar is Canadian, table, red cedar, cherry back and sides. Maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, 21 frets, joining body / handle to the 14th box. The bridge is to ankles. The mechanical oil baths Seagull stamped, they are accurate and reflect well the agreement. Very clean finish, with varnished and well-tended, cream netting round the head and body.
It's a nice looking guitar, the veining of the wood are beautiful, the head is adorned with many fine 12 lifts, small pickguard fits in short, it is beautiful!
UTILIZATION
The handle is wide enough and a little thicker than a 6 string, but no deterrent. The grip takes a little getting used to, but once we found his position, no tires more. For large hands like me, you can play thumb over without a problem, little fingers may have to have to get behind the thumb in a more traditional, but now I walk a little ... Note that the factory setting is nickel, the guitar is really ready to play immediately.
The shape is a classic dreadnought, it is quite light, easy to learn, and there all sizes find their marks with no problem.
SOUNDS
While his side, that's where it all happens: a dreadnought, it has a projection and volume quite impressive! The balance between the frequencies is really good, it's clear, crystalline, good solid bass but not invasive, the sound is rich and full, the guitar is "live", it sings, it lives, it really makes you want to play.
For me an acoustic guitar worthy of the name must "sing", it must respond to my requests and the groove is born of this union! I love the crystal-clear highs and low invasive. I can not stand the guitars neutral, flat and soft, the ones that give the impression to keep her inside, it is necessary that inspires me and my guitar makes me want to play Let's live, it makes move in the air!
OVERALL OPINION
I tried several models before this one: Ibanez, Takamine, and Valley Blues, Lag, none has really satisfied, not even I Lag "chosen" catalog, namely T400J12, c ' is a jumbo that should have potatoes, but not ... And then I came across this Seagull, not really by chance because I called my favorite little shop the day before and told me about the maker in many, it was full of praise, and I could check with my own ears what he meant. She's cute, it sounds, it responds well to the nuances of the game, that I fit in with a pick or my fingers caress, she always responds with the character is never flat or gling-gling. And then the sound of a 12-string, when it sounds is that of happiness, it fills the sound!
It comes without case, but my favorite luthier gave me a gigbag, so I left his shop with this Seagull in hand, convinced that he had found a guitar whose quality (grades?) Is with the shovels much more expensive. Excellent value for money then, and this choice I would do without hesitation!
