Is there a noticeable difference? Also, the TRIC hugs the guitar close enough that it will make it in most airplane overhead bins. I loved it, and wish I had a couple of my own. These Seagulls arrived good to go.
Seagull utilizes every trick in the book to ensure stability and intonation. The necks are a single piece of Mahogany cut at a 45 degree angle; they glue the headstock on with the grain reversed, creating incredibly stable necks.
Their tapered headstock provides straight string pull, which minimizes the neck-twisting effect. The Seagull neck attaches to the body with a clean wood-to-wood connection. Finally, Seagull makes its tuners on the smaller side which I like—less likely to be knocked out , with very cool, bone-like caps. These tuners look great, appear to be durable, and you can actually tune your guitar with them.
All of these factors together really do make for a more accurate tuning and stability. Artist bracing is also made from Adirondack Spruce which is actually very strong yet much lighter than other woods…meaning that the top can vibrate even more freely.
Seagull avoids sound killing poly finishes; instead they lean more toward the traditional French polish of the 19th century, which allows the top to breathe and vibrate. Natural ingredients lead to a natural sound. Rather than making a single 25th Anniversary acoustic, Seagull created two very different guitars to meet the needs of very different players; the Mahogany Spruce HG is for the discerning acoustic player who can appreciate the nuances of a uniquely voiced guitar.
As the name suggests, it features solid Honduras Mahogany back and sides and a pressure-tested spruce top with a bell shaped body that feels very Gibson-ish. This is a great guitar, warm and well balanced with great intonation. I played the review sample sent to American Songwriter on a session right out of the box, and it did not disappoint—even under playback scrutiny.
Is there a difference between the Mahogany Spruce HG and some of its more expensive, American cousins? I imagine that a few years of banging on this guitar will improve its tone as that spruce top opens with age.
