Someone I know is selling a Seagull S6+ acoustic-electric guitar. It is listed on Musician's Friend for $569.99, but the guy is willing to sell it for $250. Obviously, this seems like a great deal to me.

I know very little about guitars, so I am bringing along a friend who does know about them. However, I was wondering if anyone has had any experiences with Seagull products or any tips as to what I should look for when I inspect the guitar.

(Maybe it's too nice of a guitar for a beginner, but it seems like such a good deal that I don't want to pass it up)

Thanks for the help!

with amazing new inovations of fret2fret you only need know how to play guitar like a PRO!!!!!! and you will be invited to band. and will supply you with a PRO guitar!!

Also: I don't know. :[

i'd pay less for the first guitar.

i got an Ibanez RG321 and i love it.

What are you gonna play? Alternative or *shudder if he says yes* country would probly be best on an acu-elec (and yes, I use that word in real life, funny looks all round). However if you are going for punk or metal, may wanna find a cheap electric to learn on.

I got my first guitar as a beginners pack (guitar and small amp) for about $300ish. That may be the way to go for you, and I would recommend the Peavey setup I got. The guitar doesn't have the best tone, but by time you get good enough to play for/with people, you'll be far enough along to, make a big investment, and get something you'll keep forever.

That is a good deal for an acu-elec, I know the bass I'm borrowing from someone is one, and I found a bill in the case. $600. It's a lovely Axl acu with pickup, plays like a dream, but the bigness of the body just doesn't feel right for a bass. So parents are buying me my own for xmas.

Seagull makes pretty damned good acoustic guitars. if you want to learn more about them go to [url]www.godinguitars.com[/url]

Godin makes some serious pro electric guitars for low price. and their acoustic/classical divisions are equally awesome.

Seems like a good deal, I'd go for it.

I'd hit it. I haven't actually played a Seagull yet but I've only heard good things about them.
