I bought one about a year and a half ago and love mine. I had a Tak before that but I didn't pay attention to the humidity during one Chicago winter and my neck warped (the guitar neck :wink: ) so I made sure I bought a humidifier with my new martin. I live in Okinawa, Japan now and the himidity is about 100% every day so no more wories about my guitar. I keep it in its case when I'm not playing it just to be on the safe side.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Navydoc1 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/acoustic-guitar-on-a-500-budget-any-input/paged/2/#post-91957 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/acoustic-guitar-on-a-500-budget-any-input/#post-91731 Mon, 28 Feb 2005 05:48:48 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion yoyo286 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/acoustic-guitar-on-a-500-budget-any-input/#post-91731 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/acoustic-guitar-on-a-500-budget-any-input/#post-91717 Mon, 28 Feb 2005 03:29:17 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion pearlthekat https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/acoustic-guitar-on-a-500-budget-any-input/#post-91717 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/acoustic-guitar-on-a-500-budget-any-input/#post-91703 Mon, 28 Feb 2005 01:01:20 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion SlowFingers https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/acoustic-guitar-on-a-500-budget-any-input/#post-91703 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/acoustic-guitar-on-a-500-budget-any-input/#post-91697 Mon, 28 Feb 2005 00:31:37 +0000
Mikey not surprised really, i've heard several others state the same thing,
i bought mine right after it was announced as guitar of the year under 600 in the UK in some mag. suddenly everyone was on deep backorder.
i searched everywhere and finally found one at "Annie's Guitars" in Savannah GA. (Annie is the cousin of Greg allman).

anyway they set it up and put some nice strings on it so it played and sounded better than all the Martins, Washburns, and others i had tried in that price range. also the neck has beautiful inlays and it sounds even better plugged in. maybe i got lucky but im really glad i didn't settle on the X series Martin.]]> Guitar Players Discussion TwistedLefty https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/acoustic-guitar-on-a-500-budget-any-input/#post-91697 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/acoustic-guitar-on-a-500-budget-any-input/#post-91638 Sun, 27 Feb 2005 08:42:47 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion yoyo286 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/acoustic-guitar-on-a-500-budget-any-input/#post-91638 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/acoustic-guitar-on-a-500-budget-any-input/#post-91623 Sun, 27 Feb 2005 05:21:51 +0000

So, I get home and start calling around. Seagulls are in short supply, apparently, and the guys who have them have jacked up their prices lately. Lynch Music had what I wanted on clearance for $287 or so, but were out when I got home and called them. Finally, I talked to a guy who had the M6 gloss at a good price. At first, I was going to do as someone else suggested and just buy a lower priced case elsewhere to save a bit of money. The guy was insistent that I would want a case for this guitar (he thinks highly of the M6), so he matched the lowest price I said I had seen on any case.

So, all told, I am getting a Seagull M6 with an SKB hardshell case for $425 shipped price. Not a bad deal. I might could have found a better deal overall somewhere had I kept looking, but this guy was super nice to deal with and helpful. I will give his name, business, and glowing feedback once I have the guitar in my hands and can check it out.
