Members billyzoom2112 Posted June 19, 2013 Members Share Posted June 19, 2013 I'm torn between two Seagull acoustic electrics. Both have pros and cons. I've been only able to actually try out one of them at a Guitar Center. Now I come to you for your input and advice.Seagull Entourage CW BL. This is a cutaway dreadnought with a solid cedar top, laminated cherry back and sides and a QI preamp. I like that it has a solid top, it's black, it has a cutaway, it has electronics, and I've found a place where I can order one for $550 with case. Entourage in Black Seagull Natural Elements Mini Jumbo. This is a mini jumbo with a solid cedar top, laminated cherry back and sides with a B-band ACI.5T preamp (other body types and laminated woods are available). I prefer black but like the natural look of this guitar. It has a cutaway and electronics. I can't find any version of this guitar in my neck of the woods to see if I like it so online purchase will be a leap of faith. I can order this with Seagulls TRIC case for $674 but could shop around and get cheaper but likely without hardshell case. Natural Elements mini jumbo Bang for buck, the Entourage is hard to resist. I tried a sunburst model and I loved the crisp tone. Somehow I suspect the Natural Elements will be much brighter which may not necessarily be a good thing. But without trying one, I have no way of being sure. I would love a mini jumbo in black but Godin simply doesn't offer one. Either model will be a compromise but likely both are really nice especially for the price.So, anyone try out both? Own both? Pros? Cons? -Thanks!

Members Graeca Posted June 20, 2013 Members Share Posted June 20, 2013 Natural Elements - a bit pricier, but a great bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
