Just traded in the Ibanez PF 12 string (she wasn't getting alot of attention). Traded it for a Seagull S series grand. It has a cedar top with cherrywood sides and back... Sounds really good and didn't cost much either. About the same size as the Larrivee parlors. Now I can sit in my couch more comfortably and play too!!! :P
I owned a Grand for 3 years, and I'm still kicking myself for selling it. They are great guitars for recording. Very focused and controlled. They also make a very nice travel guitar.
Seagull is a pretty good guitar. I especially like the Cherrywood....not something you see too often. AAMOF, I've never seen another builder use it. Experts?? Need enlightenment.....any other builders using this stuff? How does it age, etc??
