I've had a Seagull S6+ Cedar for almost 4 years. It's the same as the S6 with the back and sides stained dark to look more conventional. Only $300 US brand new. I had 2 friends who are accomplished players and collectors with me and they were not gonna let me leave the store without buying it. Every one we tried was good, but they weren't all the same. The one I got sounded the best, hands down. I've never had a problem with the action on mine, which has been a problem for me on some Guilds and Martins.
