My New Guitar is Here. Seagull Portrait
Hey all,
This got here much faster than I thought. Which is good. However, I was a bit peeved that UPS left it on my back porch all day. Still, no harm, at least none that I can tell.
I was very happy to find that Seagull had included a little pickguard for me to apply(I'm a bit of a hard picker), I think it adds a good little finish to the guitar.
I'm also happy with the TRIC case. I thought it would be cheesy and I'd have to replace it, but, no, I think for general everyday stuff, this case is pretty neat.
Anyway, here are some pics.
Oh...and it sounds great. Nice midrange and low end, crystal clear high end. Sounds like a mid range Taylor.

Yea, so do I.
No work/school tomorrow, so I'll see what I can do.

Here are some samples. One is picking, one is strumming. I'll let you figure out which is which
Recorded to the computer using the m-audio black box (my interface), but i didn't use any amp models, effects, or eq.
Sounds pretty nice.
