| Just found a Seagull Rustic Dreadnought for $299 on Elderly Music's site. Anyone know anything about them and cedar top guitars? Would they be good for bluegrass?
I was in a store in Evansville, In. over the weekend and the salesman tried to push a Seagull on me. I think it was around $500. He fingerpicked some and it sounded nice, then he really boomed some chords as well. It sounded pretty strong to me. Any advice?
I'm concerned about tuners, nut materials, etc. I think Seagull is pretty strong in those areas too. Is hand made in Canada better than made in China of Korea?

Blueridge necks are standard 1 11/16 inch. The neck profile is late Martin.
