Went shopping for an acoustic and this happened NGD

What kind of acoustic you looking for.  Currently downsizing, trying to get to <80 (translation - trying to move 50, 30 already gone).

You parting with all those PRS finally?!

[madbean]

BTW: it's nothing special in terms of an instrument but last summer I had a few days to play on a Big Baby Taylor and it was great! So, so easy to play and pretty decent sounding.

Taylor Big Babies are great especially for the price.


Congrats Jimmy. I have a Fender HSS and love it.

Well...she did being home a ukele...along with an epi les Paul and another mandolin...

Trying to get down to 20 PRSs.  Currently down to 24 from 26, can't decide what the next four are going to be.

I actually have a Seagull mini jumbo.  Great guitar.  Can send you some pics if you'd like.  Glad you're loving the SG.

Sure, what do you want for it?

I'll PM you once I check on shipping prices to you.

I actually compared the big baby to the seagull and was disappointed the the seagull sounded better. That's why I made my decision.

I've never tried the seagull but I can tell you that a big baby just needs a little time to break in. I've had mine for about 10 years and I prefer it over some of the "real" taylors. But now I will definitely have to check out those seagulls next time I get a chance!

I would absolutely agree with you. I think that the Seagull would blow the BB out of the water. I have an Alvarez that is hands down WAY better than any BB I've played. Don't get me wrong I love Taylor guitars, but it seems like you need to spend at least $800 to get a really nice one IMO.

The Seagull Mini Jumbos are ludicrously good guitars, especially at their price point.  I've got a Taylor 110CE, and the Seagull sounds and plays better by a significant amount, for a third (or is it a quarter now) of the price.

I checked on shipping Jimi, it's going to be a deal killer based on the size of the box.  Musiczoo (ebay) has a Mini Jumbo Ltd Walnut on for $249 with free shipping, you should be all over that one.

The Martin X series acoustics are also very good VFM, especially if you can get past the look of the laminated neck.  Have a DX-1 and a OOO-X and they play and sound great.  Steer clear from the new Sigma line though, picked up a 000 Sigma (the old ones used to be branded under Martin, the new ones just kept the name and no affiliation) for a steal (or so I thought), and it is horrifically dead sounding.

Yeah I figured it might be based on the shipping to get it here, thanks for checking though.

I bought one last year and am pretty happy with it. I adjusted the action (way too high) and it plays a lot better than it did when I bought it.
