Hi All,
I recently purchased an old Seagull guitar ser# 3278. According to other info on the site, it must have been built 1982-1983. There is no logo on the headstock. There is a space where model could be typed on the label, but nothing is typed there. The pickguard is a regular one, like you'd see on a Martin - not the Seagull pickguard seen on newer models.
The sticker inside says "I'm made of solid wood", but that could just be the top, right? I've read that early seagulls were cherry laminate?
Also, open gear tuning heads (not closed ones) - this could have been a user-modification, but I kind of doubt they would, unless the other ones went bad.
Does anyone have any information about very early Seagull guitars, or this one in particular? This guitar looks very different from any Seagull guitars I've seen - re: tuning pegs, no logo on headstock.
I've added a couple pictures. I can take some more, if others are interested.
Thanks,
Willy G from SD
