This Seagull is the latest addition to my collection. It has a very loud and big sound and projects really well. The action on my piece was set too high and needs a correction. Fit and finish of the guitar is good but not a significant step higher than my Sire/ Walden. I guess time will tell. It does not have a built in pick up so will be adding that soon. All in all a good guitar but I can’t help feeling that at this price point there would be better options.
