Members Minitruth Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 Seagull. Love mine. The wider string spacing is perfect for mypudgy little fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Minitruth Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 My Seagull: Performer CW Q2 Last one, clearance at Albany GC, $399 w/HSC. I practically stole it, was a $750 guitar. Traded an Ovation CC-26 and a worn out MIM strat for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bluesrock70's Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 Seagull, just happen to have found S6 CW in a pawn shop for $240. I have put in layaway:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members billythegoat Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 I have always recommended Yamaha. I've had friends that have played there $300 Yamaha acoustic forever and they sound terrific. Ibanez ain't bad either. I had a Takamine myself, it was a nice little mini-jumbo(busted,fell out of the stand). All of the above mentions +1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Townshend Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 I LOVE my Alvarez RF8. Cheap too, around $200 w/ hardshell case, I believe. Has a 000 body style too, so it's a nice small body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Highway_61 Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 MF is still selling these for 900+, but a few vendors are selling this guitar for 600.00. (It comes with excellent hardshell case.) Don't let the Ovation tag allow you to think that this guitar will not be resonant. This guitar is wondrous. And plugged in, it's superb.

Members Jayers Posted May 9, 2008 Members Share Posted May 9, 2008 i have the seagull rustic mini jumbo and it is a fabulous guitar, under 250. other seagulls are great too and all are made in canada not in asia. amazing prices too. ... solid tops laminated backs (that goes for the seagull mini jumbo too.) I have one of these too, the Slim model with the thinner neck and I love it to bits. I heartily recommend it to anyone wanting an acoustic in this price range. They set them up kind of high, so make sure you get the action adjusted to a comfortable spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Schtang Posted May 12, 2008 Members Share Posted May 12, 2008 Sorry, where are the dings, scratches and fretboard wear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members docjeffrey Posted May 12, 2008 Members Share Posted May 12, 2008 ^^Seagull. There you go. There's also Simon and Patrick. Good value. Available in UK. We don't have Crafter Guitars over here. I wish we did--and Vintage too. I want one of these: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jkater Posted May 12, 2008 Members Share Posted May 12, 2008 wow, you sure know how to bring pics to the internet! And it's still a beautiful guitar. You must be a fingerstyle player given that the pickguard does look rather unscathed. Thanks for the pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tumbleweeed Posted May 12, 2008 Members Share Posted May 12, 2008 I bought a Zager ZAD-80CE for about $750 and it sounds and plays better than any of the $1500-$2000 Martins and Taylors at GC that I check out to this day. The action is lower and its bright and deep. Its made exclusively for Denny Zager by the same folks who make Sigma's. Denny Zager is the guy who played in that band that did " In the Year 2525" way back when. Just dont request the "string science" that he performs on them to lower the action. Its basically filing out the buzzes anywhere on the neck to get the action as low as possible......A great {censored}in sounding guitar with rosewood back and sides. edit: Looks like theyve gone up $100 since I bought one 2 years ago but the NON elec/acou version is $750 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
