I liked the quality of the Seagulls I played at our local store. A professional musician I knew made money with his cedar top Seagull and his looper, and he loved that guitar. Don't know anything about this one in particular, or what sound it has or what you are after, but I think a Seagull is a good value. I just did not find the rosewood back and side, spruce top type sound I was looking for. They were nice to play though.
