Seagull Original S6: Any Opinions?

[Duff]

Great guitar. Flammed maple body over cherry for a mahogany body type sound with a beautiful look, mahogany slim neck.

Super beautiful playing guitar.

Hope you like the pictures. Got it for 265 new at a local shop. New old stock. Made in '04 I think. But perfect condition new.

PS Woops, how'd that SG get in there?

Hey Moe!! Nuk, nuk nuk!!

Huckleberry, I think you captured the differences perfectly.. in other words I agree.

Duff,
Great pics. Love the flamed maple. SG looks pretty cool too. But what are all those knobs for??? :

[Duff]

They are devoted to tweaking the individual volume and tone of each pup separately to give you a wider range of tones when in the middle switch position. They work great, as you know, I'm sure.

It's an Epi SG copy of a '66 Gibson Std with the full pickguard instead of the teardrop. I love the feel, tone, and playability of this guitar stock. Really nice pups for some reason. When I bought it new I compared it to about five other Epi SGs and a Gibson I think and it sounded by FAR the best of the bunch, can't remember about the Gibson though but I think it was a low end one. The tonal quality of the '66 SG copy posted was way cooler, crystal clear highs like a strat, and rumbling low end like a LP. All mahogany with a mahogany set neck. One nice guitar.

Yeah. The flammed maple over the cherry on the body of the 20th aniv. S6 looks really good. I tried to take some pictures that do it justice. It has a solid spruce top. I like the picture where my Lab, Nigella, is looking at the Seagull so intelligently.

Got her a new companion today, a purebred Newfoundland puppy complete with needle sharp puppy teeth. My lab is ready to explode with the puppies from my late Newfoundland that was a previously owned stud of six years I got free. Little did I know he was an accomplished excape artist and even went thru my cow style electric fence without hesitation during heavy traffic on my country road to his demise. The poor boy was killed instantly in a head on. He weighed more than me.

I can't believe I was able to get another Newfoundland. They are very very expensive but some horse ranchers around here knew of my loss and were compassionate and one of them had a puppy and sold it to my for 450 and the mother is a show dog. I'm a lucky guy. Wasn't that a John Lennon song? I really feel lucky and when things get tough you never know who your friends are. I didn't even know, these people that arranged for me to get this puppy. There are some really great people in the world. It has been inspiring. I need to do some repaying somehow.

Peace,
Duffy
