The Phiu-x Interlude - Seagull 25th CW Flame Maple - Demo

[kcmae7]

I just traded in my Martin acoustic electric for this guitar because the tone, and quality of the workmanship just blew me away... such a beautiful guitar.

One thing about these guitars is sometimes it's a bit inconsistent, which can be a good thing.. In my case, it was. I've played 200$ Guitars, 50$ Guitars, 4,000$ guitars, 1,000$ Guitars.... I have to say...I preferred mine. Ultimately, they are ALL great guitars... But when I compared mine with the same model guitar, in fact, 4 different ones, mine was always a bit better. I could always tell the difference in the way it played. Love these guitars though, they are amazing.

@Amulius I'm saying when I compared my seagull, a 600$ guitar to some of the guitars which well over 1,000$, I still preferred mine.

Best quality/price on the market, I love mine it's awsome!!!!!!! Plus it's made here at Home in Québec Canada, hand made.

3 layers of maple is the laminated back and sides, solide spruce the top!!!

Oh Dude..That sounded REALLY nice, I am a US citizen in China and I left my own 25th anniversary flame maple seagull at home, i searched seagull 25th anniversary hoping to relive the tone and I found your vids...Thanks. Haha. I bought it for the same price as you and my buddy got one as well, my brother is borrowing when I am away and he loves it too!! The customer rep dude said it was solid maple and then later i found out it was a laminate, he said it was ok though because they age well...

[phiux]

Yes it is laminated but not "laminated" as in cheap composite wood sandwiched between more cheap wood with a photosticker for "grain". It is more like this: All maple sandwiched between some more all maple. They laminated this one for structural stability since its cutaway. Check the Seagull website for more info.

I just posted a new video showing a direct comparison with a real laminated beater. Check it out.

I just bought the spruce/mahogany anniversary model (after a ton of research and playing). I really like it. Of course, much of this is a matter of taste and playing style. I find the balance across the tonal spectrum to be very even, and the playability is great. If this is your style and price range, I think it is an excellent choice (obviously, since I bought it).

oh man, i tried this guitar out yesterday, it sounds awsome and feels awsome too. it was 699 here though, hope to grab it sometime

[saddamdontsurf]

its a laminate maple, not " all " maple. the mahogany isnt quite as tinny as the maple.

[phiux]

You're right. It sure is thinnier than all mahogany.I might poste a video of it when it plugged in.

[saddamdontsurf]

i ended buying the maple exactly like yours. lowered the action and put a set of elixer poly lights on it..I couldnt be happier. IMO seagull is the best guitar for the money out there.

Amazing guitar! How much was yours? I've seen them for 500$

[phiux]

Thank you. Mine was 599 with a nice branded gigbag.

i was thinking about buying this guitar but i want to know how the action/intonation/sutain/lowen­d ?

basicaly is it a really good guitar

i mean youtube makes it sound al fuzzy like that why im asking

[phiux]

The action good.I had it lowered a bit when I bought it. Intonation is dead on (compensated nut) Sustain is really good. The body is all maple a good wood for sustain. The tone is mellow, less bassy than all mahogany. When plugged this guitar sing and low end show better. It is a quality guitar. Easily compares to a 1000$+ guitar. It already started to "open up" I'm pretty sure the sound is better now that I played about 20 hours on that thing. The seagull sound is particular but I love it.
