I purchased a 12-String Seagull guitar in July of 2001 from the Halifax Folklore Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

My son, Nigel had purchased the same model a few months earlier. It played so well and sounded so good, I JUST HAD TO HAVE ONE.

I was not disappointed. I just love it!

The model I got is the S12+.

The price was very reasonable for the superb quality of workmanship, great sound and ease of playability.

Later I purchased another 12 string Seagull. This one a Seagull Maritime 12 String with the electronics factory-installed. The S12+'s electronics (Shadow Preamp with Condenser Microphone & Pickup) were installed after the sale and never worked well. The strings sounding unevenly and too easy to get feedback, especially when playing in a group. The Seagull Maritime 12 String works fine plugged in. I still prefer the S12+ when playing unplugged but the difference is minimal.

My other guitar is a Takamine 6-string. (It does not play as well nor sound as good as the Seagulls.)
