An '82 Seagull? Far out - I'd never heard of them until about '02. A -1 on them for me; I don't like their necks. But that, of course, is entirely subjective. I haven't played an Avalon, but have heard good things about them (they're the people who used to to be Lowden, before their legal trouble - bankruptcy, I think). But every one I've seen a price on is north of $1500.

I had never even heard of Seagull before this thread. I guess I need to check them out.

Seagull is the lower end brand of Godin (like Squire to Fender or (these days) Epiphone to Gibson). I have a Godin Acousticaster and an LGX-SA. Both are wonderful guitars.

Ahh, that clears things up. Thanks Bill.
