I realize that this forum is generally about better guitars than this one, but I figured I'd throw this up here none-the-less.

Specifications: This is a parlor guitar (small body). It has a solid Cedar top with Cherry back and sides. Silver Leaf Maple neck and Indian Rosewood fingerboard & bridge. It comes with a gig bag. Complete specifications are here: http://www.seagullguitars.com/specs.htm

Condition: The guitar is in good condition with cosmetic damage to the top, and a couple of dings in the headstock (you can see pictures by following the link below). It's clearly been played a lot (nearly all the damage to the guitar was there when I got it).

Sound: The guitar sounds great for finger-picking, but less good for strumming. The pickup sounds very nice. I've used it for recording, and played it through an amp quite a bit. The pick-up was installed after-market by a previous owner.

Background: I bought this guitar about six years ago. Three of my kids have played it quite a bit, so it's a decent small-bodied guitar for a learner. I've also often taken it with me when I travel for work.

For more pictures check out this site (there are some photos of my Epiphone Les Paul in there as well, but you can ignore them):

Below is a video of the guitar being played through the pick-up directly into recording software:

As I recall these are closer to a 00 than a true parlor.  Can you measure across the lower bout for me please?

13" according to Seagull (Godin).  These are great guitars for the money (IMO).  I had one back when they were just called a Seagull Grand.

I just confirmed that the lower bout is, in fact, 13 inches.

This guitar is an older one. The label in the sound hole says 'S Series Grand'... so maybe i should not have called it a Cedar Coastline.

same guitar though. I love these. Lovely little instruments. No apologies necessary.

I have heard it played slide also and it worked just fine.

Good luck on your sale . If I didn't't already have too many...
