MGR/thomas « Seagull Artist Series »
Published on 08/01/01 at 15:00purchased guitar from local music shop in limerick, ireland for £915 irish pounds. got a 20% discount. original price was close to £1200 irish pounds. i was on the lookout for a high quality acoustic and was very impressed with a few of the seagulls i played. went to a show previewing the instruments and immediately fell for this.
love the tone and feel. got it with l.r. baggs "duet 2" electronics. they are absolutely brilliant.
action was too high originally, but that was easily fixed. also, the top is solid cedar and very, very sensitive. the pick has already carved a healthy scratch in! however, i've been told these things play well with holes in them!
solid cedar top. solid mahogany back. sides have good 3 way lamination. tapered headstock for easier tuning and "individual" look. well finished and well respected guitars.
after much inspection of other acoustics, this one came out tops. seriously, i played expensive gibsons and taylors but this guitar beat them all. very sensitive, but worth every penny. great value
