Seagull grands .

Wow, you're right.  The Excursion and Natural Elements series are completely gone now.   They seem to really be slimming down the choices.  I guess it's just one more result of all their cost cutting efforts.

I always had a funny feeling the Natural Elements wouldn't last, but I'm surprised the Excursion series is gone too.  That was a great entry level line and as far as I heard from the stores I go to, they sold well.  Huh.  Didn't see that one coming.

I just hope they don't go to far and stop making the grand all together. Not that I'm in any position financially to purchase another guitar. It seems the only grand model that might remain is the coastline grand since it's the only one that's been around a long time.

There is only one small independent guitar store I know of near me, last time I was in there since I worked a mile from it they had the AMI parlors the older models with the binding front and back and open geared tuners. They also has an artist grand and a few other dreads. I really wanted the artist at that time around 2002 or 2003 if I recall they would sell me the artist grand for near $600 yet I didn't have the funds. Point is even then as CTGull expressed, try finding one other than on-line.
I prefer to try out a few and pick the best one. More to the point and not to bash on-line dealers they just grab one, if they have more than one, off the shelf and box it and ship it. By the time I was able to afford one I got the AMI in 2005 the almond model which then all had the Ply top and this store included a nice tan Godin gig bag yet by then Godin didn't include the back binding and instead replaced the open gear tuners with the closed tuners much like the ones on my 2004 grand. It was still a nice guitar yet when they shipped it they didn't use a real box with packing material they simply used parts of boxes and a bit of newspaper all tapped together around the GIG BAG!! they didn't even slack of the strings. I was amazed it arrived in one piece. The only damage was they truss rod hex key was tossed in the gig bag instead of the pocket and left a dent in the back of the neck. It was $219.00 shipped. I still wanted a grand because of the 14th fret to the body and the binding and included hard shell case plus a solid wood top. Purchased from the same place , by the time it arrived the box was as close to hanging on the case due to UPS, yet since it was in a case yet still with strings near pitch. It made it.
I realize even a local music shop has all their stock shipped and may very well see the same thing.

I used to go to Guitar center when they actually had a fair selection of acoustics, by fair , you could at least walk in and find a acoustic you could afford and learn to like and select from at least 3 . Those days are long gone.
In 2015 I decided to get a Epiphone EL-00 Pro , didn't want the electronics yet they stopped the other choice. I ordered via phone and got a better deal yet after I placed the order I was told the case was on back order. Once again due to my last experience I worried if it would arrive in one piece yet Musicians Friend did pack it well. The case blew in a month later. This was another situation where not one music store had one in stock so I could choose. Guitar center offers one choice not in stock they ship to your store from another, may as well simply order from MF.
There's my not so quick reply.
