Seagull owners club?

I looked around and didn't see one. I do like the idea of having "clubs" for various guitar makes, though. That way, we can help each other out with routine stuff like strings, cleaning, common problems, etc.

So, I'll get started: I just bought a Seagull S6 on Monday. I like it a lot and it's my first "real" (read: solid top) acoustic guitar. I'm learning to play and the wide nut and neck are a great help to a fat-fingered hombre like me.

Anyone else want to chime in?

Big fan here. I have an S-6+ that is about 10 years old. I also have a Seagull Grand. Great guitars!

I have an S6 seagull coastline series with spruce top. I don't have fat fingers but don't mind the fat neck. Sounds great. I've been adjusting the action on it to get it where I want it.

Glad to see that there are a few of us around with Seagull guitars.

Seagull S6+ CW GT QII. My favorite live guitar of all time. Had it for a little over two years now, and I'll die before I part with it.

Seagull is the best value out there for the money. I own several high-end acoustics, all costing much, much more than the Gull. They are all very nice guitars, but bang for the buck, the Seagull takes the prize. It's perfect combo of quality vs. price makes it the ultimate gigging guitar IMO.

A '94 Flame Maple, kind of a predecessor to their Artist line. Has a 2-piece back, ebony board/bridge, most importantly a huge and wonderful sound. Deep/full bass, tight mids, brilliant highs. Was hard to find as the sound/quality/price value is awesome and they were selling fast. They don't make this model any longer, unfortunately and their's something about it's construction that really works well. My favorite acoustic guitar.

I have a Seagull S6+, about 9 years old. I love it, the LR Baggs pickups sound amazing, I've gotten tons of complements on the sound of it at my church (and I know it's not from my playing). It's a great guitar, but it is very warm sounding which is a turn-off for some people.

I've got a S6+, had it about 8 years and love it. I'm looking at adding one with electronics into the flock to go with it.

Here's my lovel little S-6 Folk. Not sure of the age...I helped a gal at church pick it out 3-4 years ago and it had already been sitting in the shop for 6-7 years before that.

Anyway, it's on semi-permanent loan, so I've had it in my possession for a few years. Great tone and playability. It's my around the house player and composer guitar.
