aristophon, Ahhhhh, the good ol' spurce/hog Maritime dread. Always thought that was one of Seagull's best guitars. Congrats on the new arrival and may you enjoy her for many, many moons!

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."

I'm sure you'll love the full sound you'll get from that dread body also. Congratulations, and enjoy!

Had to change image sites to do it, but here's some pics (they're actually the ones taken by the seller.)

Godin marked it as a factory second because of a small hairline crack on the side, but it was repaired so well that I can't find evidence it was ever there even by going over it with a large magnifying glass.

Have played it along with the Spruce/Rosewood doing sound comparisons this week. There is a detectable difference in tone between the two, but it's mostly noticeable on the treble stings.

Thanks, but the acid test is can it play high decibel Reformation era music from across -the-street-distance without requiring use of an amplifier?

aristophon,

Come to think of it, I had a Seagull Maritime, all Mahogany, great guitar and very well built, but unfortunately for me, I found it little on the large size (I like small body guitars), it was the first Seagull guitar that I had had.
