Philippe Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 what kind of Takamine are you looking at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Phillipe, I always like seeing folks get Seagulls. I met robert Goudin when he first started building guitars and he is absolutely brilliant. There are things that your guitar can do that my $8000 Olson can't. (grrrrrrrr) As far as I know, the cross lamenation technique that he uses for the sides and back are still only being done by his company. By far best bang for your buck!!

He also has a Takamine but his Seagull is his pride and joy. Maybe he will see this and post here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jp2_rules Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 i've only played on one seagull, and frankly, it was just the same as Taks i've played. not sure cost difference, but i'd put them in the same class as far as sound goes, for sure. the main problem i've found with Taks (and heck, even with Taylors) is that you have to def put down a lot more money to get something that sounds good. to get a good sounding Tak, you're prob looking at $800+. for a Taylor prob more like $1000+. some companies (like Martin) the sound is still pretty darn good even with a $500 guitar. so, the long and short of it is, look at seagulls, and if you can get the same sound for less, DO IT!!!

Philippe Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 i havent played many guitars in my day but this seagull sounds great. My only thing is that the strings are set pretty high off the fingerboard but i got that shaved down so its better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franciscanheart Posted June 12, 2005 Author Share Posted June 12, 2005 im starting to want to give up!! this sounds really stupid but i cant get my strumming patterns down. being a music student for as long as i have been i didnt think i would have this many problems trying to do it. i can only focus on strumming while im doing it because if i try to change chords or even worse - sing - i just get all messed up. i can barely strum consistently when im not doing anything else. *sigh* Lord help my patience!!
