Default !!! New Guitar SWEET !!!

Ok ! The photos are not photos that I to took. They are photos that were taken for the ad that I purchased it from. I purchased a guitar from a store in Wisconsin Jim Laabs Music. Spencer was great to work with, and treated me really fair and gave me a fantastic deal.

The I purchased is a Seagull SWS Mini Jumbo Guitar HG. I got the guitar, the seagull gig bag, and a Seagull TRIC Guitar Case. This is the first time I have had an all wood guitar. To my untrained ear, when I play some of the notes they sound like raindrops on crystal. I think I made a good choice. Although I'm just starting all over again and I don't know very much, this guitar just makes me wanna play all that more. I did have a cheap Martin before this, but boy what a difference in the all wood vs.laminated martin. I also purchased Gibson's learn & master guitar course. So I think it'll be busy for a while. I'll take some photos when it quits snowing in July.

I also took a guitar down to Hoffman's, it's a local tour shop where they build custom guitars in MN. The owner said the guitar is setup perfect and I should be in great shape for a while. I talk to about putting a pickup in it, but that will come later.

Nothing helps someone learn like a guitar you want to play all the time. That's a great looking 'Gull and a nice choice. Enjoy!

Welcome to the Seagull club! "Raindrops on crystal"...it's amazing the way we Seagull owners describe the beautiful sounds our guitars make.

You're going to have some sore fingers from all the playing you'll be doing. I have a Simon & Patrick (Part of the Godin family of guitars, like Seagull) Mini Jumbo so I know you're in for a treat. Enjoy!

The TRIC cases ("Thermally Regulated Instrument Case") are made from expanded foam. Supposed to be good for people who are OCD about humidity and temps. Not that there are any of those on this forum...

Okay - I'm so not kidding...

My husband and I were trying to negotiate a trade for this guitar, but they sold it.

How awesome is it that it went into the hands of another AGF'er?

So glad you love it, we are going to get one as well but will try to sell what we have on Craigslist first, saves us more money than trying to haggle for it.
