I picked up a Seagull with a three digit serial number over the summer. It was lacking a bridge. A local luthier was able to use a vintage Martin bridge. He modified the saddle a little. He also dressed the frets. I’ve never owned, or even played, a Seagull before, and I am very impressed with the beautiful, full sound this guitar has. Clear and lush... I’ll post a picture if I can figure out how.

A number of us have Seagull guitars but you have one of the earliest one. Yours looks in good shape too Vermonter,

Wow -- a 1982 Seagull. That's quite a find, Vermonter. Welcome to the Cabin, and hope you enjoy your stay!

That is awesome!!! I saw serial number 214 on ShopGoodwill a couple of years ago. Those are the only 3 digit Seagulls I've seen. Not bad for 36 years old!!

It plays like butter. The luthier who did the work for me is really top notch.

WELCOME TO THE ACOUSTIC GUITAR CABIN!!!
