Yours was made in 2002. That has to be a rare one. Solid spruce top, laminated rosewood back & sides.

Here's a note in my Seagull Guitar Archive file that I had Seagull fill for me.

"Pre 2006 Artist models have solid backs and laminated sides. Solid back and sides from 2006 on."

Seller says guitar has both sides and back solid wood. I believe you. I know you can tell if sides are solid by bracing, but how about back?

You are correct. Bracing on the sides means they're solid. The strip down the back is just to be sure the center joint stays together. It could be in laminated backs too. In this case, it doesn't matter, Seagull says all the Artist models have solid backs.

They were dead. Filled them.
