Jim Swalley commented on Jud Hair's group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"Senator Bill sez, "Dope got me through times of no money better than money got me through times of no dope.""
Jim Swalley replied to Ian Roberts's discussion Nut width on Seagull parlor models in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"I think you have to step up to the Folk sizes to get the 1.8 nut. And you're right - you need to try it out to decide."
Jim Swalley commented on Jud Hair's group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"Ray - Your comment about Congress is spot on. I used to think the 112th Congress was the most useless we've ever had. Now, it seems the 113th is vying for the title of most useless. And maybe that's the silver lining for…"
Jim Swalley commented on Jud Hair's group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"Jud and Dave - regarding performing of copywrited songs, I found this on ASCAPs site
"Some people mistakenly assume that musicians and entertainers must obtain licenses to perform copyrighted music or that businesses where music is performed…"
Jim Swalley replied to David Kellems's discussion New Memebr awaiting new guitar..."Just saw your pic with the new guitar. Nice! From the look on your face, you should name it "My Precioussss."
If we don't hear from you on this forum for a while, we'll understand the reason why. Happy…"
Jim Swalley replied to David Kellems's discussion New Memebr awaiting new guitar..."Welcome, David!
My earliest guitar inspiration was also the Beatles, especially Paul's Hofner bass. Must be the common denominator for those of us in the 60-plus crowd."
Jim Swalley replied to CaliGull's discussion It's been a while since the scale length change. . . in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"Sorry they blew you off. Did they not want to ship or were firm on the price?
FWIW, they used to include gig bags but they changed their pricing policy in January to match GC, which was $419 and couldn't afford to give away gig…"
Jim Swalley replied to CaliGull's discussion It's been a while since the scale length change. . . in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"Sounds reasonable. I paid $419 for mine recently and it is the going price on GC website. I was only able to get a cheap, slightly used Roadrunner bag (my other Roadrunner is more padded) thrown in on the deal. I guess the shipping…"
Jim Swalley replied to CaliGull's discussion It's been a while since the scale length change. . . in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"Thanks! It does clear up a few questions I had. I would not be surprised if it is a 2010 or so.
Tejon Street Music is not a high volume, GC kind of place. It is a smaller operation where they also sell Larrivees, Collings,…"
Jim Swalley replied to CaliGull's discussion It's been a while since the scale length change. . . in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"It is a 12 digit number. Strange that it can't be decoded to at least a month and year. Somewhere along the way, I learned that the first 5 or 6 digits describe the model/design/etc.
For what it's worth, this is on…"
Jim Swalley replied to Mark Eldridge's discussion Simon Patrick Woodland Pro Folk Guitar in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"I just stumbled across a nice review of this guitar on Guitars Canada. It is about 2 years old, but a good write-up.

Jim Swalley replied to CaliGull's discussion It's been a while since the scale length change. . . in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"I got it at Tejon Street Music in Colorado Springs for $419. Here is the website:
http://www.tejonstreetmusic.com/guitars/seagull-s6-original-guitar/
I don't know the date of manufacture because I can't seem to find out how to cross…"
Jim Swalley replied to CaliGull's discussion It's been a while since the scale length change. . . in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"I just bought a new S6 -- it may be a late 2012 model -- a month ago and it has the 24.84 scale. When were the longer scale models supposed to come out? I noticed my new Gull is a little easier on the reach than my Strat since all Strats…"
Jim Swalley commented on Jud Hair's group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"Duh. Belay my last. I just revisited the group and my comment is there. Maybe it had to go through a cuss-screen first?"
