I am unable to post a link right now...but wanted to share that there is a G1070CEQ for sale on the Rhode Island CL. It appears to be a 2007.
Diamond Dave replied to Bob Edwards's discussion So what's going on at Seagull ? in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"I think your local dealer is being extreme. Most mom-and-pops offer a 48 or 72 hour try-out period. I think that's reasonable.
Retail sucks.
By the way, everyone should support the Marketplace Fairness Act. It will make the online sellers pay…"

(also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"Hey, we have a great time doing a whole lot of both here! That's why there are so many of us. Would love to see some photos of you gear!

Of course one difference is the finish, the Maritime with the HG and the NE with the semi gloss. I've…"
b fykes replied to Jud Hair's discussion Why Seagull calls it a "Mini Jumbo" ? A direct comparison w/ Gibson dimensions. in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"sorry Jud, I have the Simon and Patrick natural elements, but I would think the Seagull would have the same dims. (I get confused, as I have a lot of Godin guitars) we should just play 'em more, and talk about them less, I suppose."
Jud Hair replied to Jud Hair's discussion Why Seagull calls it a "Mini Jumbo" ? A direct comparison w/ Gibson dimensions. in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"You're preaching to the choir. While obviously we love Godin too, you and I are on different pages as far as perception of how Godin operates. Unlike Martin or Taylor or Gibson, Godin is very sensitive to manufacturing costs versus…"

(also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"they use 1.72 nut width on more guitars than 1.8. even use 1.9 one one Artist model.

Day 16: The Banjo Killer slays again!
This story has a happy ending, folks, and I'll start with it. After working for three weeks to painstakingly restore Bryan Sutton's flood damaged Banjo Killer, Shin Ichikawa finally got to test drive it today! The entire shop stopped working to watch this exciting moment, after which Shin received a standing ovation (well, we were all standing anyway). …

Day 15: The end is near. I can smell it.
Shin Ichikawa and I started the day by fitting and glueing the back binding. Last night's fitting of the top binding was tedious, but the tricks we learned made the fit of back binding go smothly. I am amazed at how cleanly both bindings look. Some finish touch up will be required, but the overall appearance is more than…
