..people who have been in my guitar room and played my guitars, like the Amber Trails best.. and these people are Taylor and Martin owners.

..for me, who played an S6 Cedar player for 13 years...the N.E. Amber Trail MJ is the best guitar Seagull ever produced. My only regret is not also getting the cedar version. ;(

It's unfortunate the Natural Elements series (including the Amber Trails) have been obsoleted. Most of them in 2015 (including the cedar top models and dreads), the last of the MJ's in 2017, and the last of the Folks in 2018. Find them if you can!! They aren't making anymore!!!

Guitar Center is out.

Amazon has the Amber Trail CW MJ SG for $617.46. www.amazon.com/Seagull-036462-Amber-Trail-Jumbo/dp/B009KCB2C4 And the Folk model for $645.56. www.amazon.com/Seagull-036479-Amber-Trail-Folk/dp/B009SA9DTW

There's always CraigsList and Reverb! No Amber Trails and a few NE's on CraigsList.

Damn you Robert! Now I want one!!! :?) Used of course. Wink, wink.

I have an Amber Trails and I love it. This baby isn't going anywhere.
That is unless one of the grandkids would like it.

I confess I don't follow Seagulls that closely, or any maker for that matter, but I just had a little look on line and it looks like Amazon Canada has some Amber Trails. At least I think it's the same guitar. It says they have 5 and they're sold and shipped by a company called Northern Shipments. (the company sounds a little... questionable.. They also sell something called, Aztec secret Indian healing clay, and diapers). But hey, if you really want the guitar, and some diapers, it might be worth taking a chance.

I kinda like the one on the right the best. She looks warmer and like she's got more cool stories to tell. And besides, I just noticed, the one in the middle is the only one that does not come with a Snark!

I had a Natural Elements mini Jumbo with cutout, by Simon and Patrick, that's one guitar I should have kept.
(Or was it by Seagull, memory is starting to fade a little, due to the cool weather).

Price:

CDN$ 1,309.46 FREE SHIPPING.
That is about 500$ Over MSRP!!!!!!
Are they insane?

Also they don't mention which preamp, so can't tell if it is a pre- or post- "lifestyles" makeover version. The images show the old logo on headstock and the old B-Band preamp, but you can't trust the images.
