This group provides members an opportunity to discuss experiences and advice regarding amplifying guitars and voices for various venues. Not to be limited to any particular system, but rather examining all reasonable options.

"You're on the right track.  #1 criteria should be to buy a guitar that feels good to play.  I bought the mini-jumbo size for the same reason.  After two years of playing my Maritime-MJ, I can't imagine doing without…"

"I bought my Martin under similar circumstances ... could not find a Seagull Maritime anywhere to play.  A 400-level Taylor is a terrific instrument that I'm sure you're going to thoroughly enjoy! To me, this is where Seagull suffers…"

"I wanted to let those here know how I made out. I was not able to find a local store with a Maritime or Performer. So, I started playing other makes. Fender, Taylor, Yamaha, Martin, etc at local GC. Something about the Taylor sound grabbed my…"

"You could also consider the Simon & patrick family. They have many spruce topped models and they use B-nand electronics. The quantum pickups are great, but I personally think that B-band is better. (just my humble opinion)"

"Maritime, like Performer was a model i could not find local. How would you compare its tone to an Entourage?"

"I was able to try a folk Mosaic.. It felt too small and did not as full as I would like. The S6 I tried was an original (not slim) so I think it was 1.8". As I think back over the weekend, I had a pretty good time seeking out the various…"

"If you're more comfortable AND you like the tone of the MJ better AND it's suitable for the musical style you're going for, go for it.  I wouldn't recommend picking that body style if it's only for comfort.  The…"

"You're welcome. Be aware also that most guitars have a 1 11/16" nut, so the 1.72" is a tad wider than standard anyway."

"Thanks. I missed that on their website. I do like the way the Entourage sounds. No complaints about the feel of the 1.72. I spent about 15 minutes on an S6 today and in that time I concluded I like the sound of Entourage better (maybe it was my…"

Guitar Selection Inquiry - Entourage vs Performer

Hello fellow Seagull owners. I have a newbie type of question I am hoping you can help me with. I turned 50 last year and wanted to learn something I have always wanted but never did.
