Before Amber, my maple/spruce Mini-Jumbo from Seagull, I was looking at another maple jumbo. I almost bought it, but it was a case of sold-already when I came back. The store never got another in.
While checking my network's backups I found this picture of it. No idea what the model number was.

AS I said they never got another one...

they did get the Seagull NE Amber Trail MJ CW, however...
so I guess, that's what it sounded like, `cause I snatched it up!

The one that got away is the story of my life!!

I still beat myself for passing up the Seagull Artist Cameo (maple) 3 years ago. That ties in with the Seagull S6 Mahogany I got for cheap after the owner of the Artist Cameo died last year. I didn't get the Cameo because I liked the S6 more, which he wasn't selling. But somehow I ended up with it anyway. Here's the story. acousticguitarcabin.boards.net/thread/1276/ngd-got-away-returns-sort

I am very thankful that I'm fortunate enough to have no regrets in this department. There is no one-that-got-away for me because I was able to scoop The One that rules them all.

It was an incredible journey; 12 years worth of going through God only knows how many guitars but I made it to the final destination.

There's still a couple of guitars I want, but as far acoustics go, the search is over.

It's hard to describe what complete happiness and contentment in a guitar feels like, so I'll just say again, I'm very thankful.

=====================================
"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will
give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I
am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your
souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
- Jesus, from Matthew 11:28-30
