Thinking I needed something else, I bought another 6 string. This one a Seagull, built in Quebec. It had a matt finish and a deep bass, but never developed a bright note. It always felt like a disappointment. Then the opportunity came to trade it for a cheap Strat copy. I suppose I thought I should broaden my repertoire, but it turns out I am like "Guitar George. Strictly rhythm, he doesn't wanna make it cry or sing". When I took it out to jam, my friends christened it the "White Lady". Uh-huh. It is just plain white trash.
I built a case for it and it seems to live there.
