I just bought a new guitar. It's a Seagull S-6 Spruce. Very nice. It's body board is made of spruce wood found abundantly in the canadian forrest. It's sides are maple and I can tell u now it sounds so lemak despite of it's humble appearance. Humble yeah! that's a suitable word for how understatedly designed the guitar is but when u hold it and strum it, u'll understand what lemak means in the guitar tone spectrum. The sound falls between the brightness of cedar and the loudness of a maple guitar.
Actually i'm pretending i know what i'm talking about. but seriously, i really do enjoy the sounds this guitar produce and if u play guitar, u'd understand when i say that good guitars inspire you to play something unique that can only come out when u play that guitar. This fucker is good man.
Seagull brand is produced by an interesting company, Godin, which has a very unique business plan. It does not endorse any top guitarist like other guitar manufacturers, a move that would bring up sales . it's the perfect way to sell guitars to the young, music loving, rich generation. Godin don't do endorsements. Seagull brand has been around since the early 80s and has survived selling guitars merely on reputation instead of association. As a result, Seagull guitars are a fraction of the price of more reknowned names like Martin, Taylor etc etc but not compromising the quality you get when you buy good guitars. I got mine for RM1,500 but it sounds like a very good hi end Martin guitar that would cost RM5000.
The one I bought has no pickups. I spent about 2hrs in the shop in taman tun chosing the best guitar for me. I wanted ones with pickups but they dont have any within my budget. They showed me this one and at first i didnt like it because of it's no frills appearance but one strum of it i fell in love! It's warm but exquisitely crisp at the same time. I tried strumming very loud but it didnt break a note! it's a fucking guitar that God would make.. perfect. I took it in view of installing pickups later.
I've already written a few riffs on this guitar that could be layered with some rusty sounding electric guitar later for the sloppy/tight sound i like so much.
I'll post some pictures of it when i know how do it.
