Our featured business is now:
Seagull Acoustic Guitars!This company greatly impressed me this week! Not only do they produce a great line-up of guitars, they are a company that truly takes pride in their work and are right here in North America.
Here is a quote from their website about the town that makes these pieces of art:
"The Seagull story wouldn't be complete without mentioning La Patrie. La Patrie is a small village in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. This is where the first Seagulls were made in the early eighties. Today, La Patrie has a population of about 475 and about half of these people are guitar builders. These folks take a great deal of pride in the guitars they build. Pick one up and you'll see why."
Now for my story:
I just played guitars for 3.5 hours looking for the perfect acoustic for me. I played Taylors, Martins, Gibsons, etc. and the only one I could find that I really liked was a Taylor 714 for $2800. Then I wandered into a side room and found the Seagull line. They were beautiful and made in Canada instead of some distant Asian country. I picked one up and started playing. It was only $300 and sounded awesome. Then I went to the next, and the next. Finally I got to the Maritime SWS cut away with Q1 electronics. It was $700 but the only one available was the floor model.
I really wanted that guitar! It sounded the best and matched the Taylor 714. It also had the perfect neck for me. I was heart broke when I could not find another one. Then I found that they made a better series, the Artist Portrait, that had the same SOLID WOOD sides, back and top. It also had a much better electronic setup, the QII with pickup and adjustable mic. The price was over $1200 though so it was out of my range.
After hours and hours of fretting over this guitar that I loved sooo much, I found a price that made it amazing and worth it! At Amazon they had the Artist Portrait CW with QII electronics for $778!
Seagull Artist Portrait Cut Away with QII electronics - $778.00You can guess how overjoyed I was to find it! The Solid Mahogany sides and back, Solid Spruce top, Mahogany Neck, Tusq® nut and compensated saddle... It was perfect and $500 cheaper! There were two left. Needless to say, I bought one of them and there is one left. I recommend buying it to anyone!
Their other guitars are great too! You will not be disappointed with the quality or sound of this North American made acoustic guitar companies offerings!
