I would say two constitutes a flock, albeit a small one

Congrats on your new Gull !!  You do indeed now have a fledgling flock on your hands ... but, watch out!  Gulls breed pretty fast in the right environment!!

Remember, Lennie left a 6 and a 12 alone, ended up with eggs, and hatched a mandolin...still trying to figure out the genetic background to THAT one... ;-)

congrats on the new addition! A buddy has given/perminant loaned me an S6 Folk from the 70's. In fact, I  have it at the shop getting cleaned up, neck tweaked and new strings put on. The burning question is: do I seriously think about getting the "new" 3 yr. old M12 in the shop? Can one have too many Gulls or 12 strings??

If you have the finances, and no one is going hungry, no - you can't have too many... ;-)

Gull multiplication is always a hazard. Or a joyful addiction!

Where does the "SF" appear on your guitar?

It is on the Seagull label in the guitar. It says "Coastline S6 Folk Ceadar SF"

I would e-mail Michel Belanger for clarification. The finish designations for Seagull tend to be limited to SG, HG, and GT. The only reference to "SF", "FS", or "F" I've ever seen is that, if one of these letter sets appears on the label, it is a "factory second" - only cosmetic imperfections, no structural ones. However-, I've only seen an example that had the "SF" near the serial number...

I got a reply. It is a second finish. No problem for me. I can see some issues that may have prompted the grade. But looks like new and sounds great. $200 I would do it again.

It's like buying a new car with a small scratch, or a nice rifle with a scratch on the stock - for a nice discount! As long as functionality is not affected, quite frankly, you'll probably put a mark on it someday anyway... :-)

Is "flock" the collective noun for seagulls?  There are a lot of very interesting and imaginative terms for groups of animals, especially birds.  For example, a group of crows is a "murder," a group of larks is an "exaltation," wildfowl - a "plump," owls - a parliament, etc.  For longer list go to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_collective_nouns

But, I found no term for a gull or a seagull.  The options for waterfowl are "bunch," "knob" and "raft."  I sort of like the term "raft" although people may think we were using them as floatation devices.

I have found these terms sort of quaint, but still interesting.  If you love music, you probably love language as well.
