1bassleft – thanks for the link and connecting me to Michael.

Michael – great to ‘meet’ you and welcome to this forum! I enjoyed reading your post about being a muscian for over 30 years. I’m happy for you that guitar is now a part of your musical voice!

The Seagulls i’ve played (maybe 3) have been nice guitars and i think they also all had cedar tops. Does your guitar have spruce or cedar? I think it is generally agreed that cedar has a great warm sound and doesn’t need the time or play to sound good. It has a more ‘off the bench’ appeal for that reason. Spruce is a bit brighter but likes to be vibrated in awhile to really show its stuff. That could be one item in your guitars tone.

you’ve gotten some great info from 1bassleft – i might add to be agressive in string choice…..they really do make a degree of difference. If i were after a brighter tone i would stay away from any coated strings. Do you play with pick or fingers?…..if pick i would look at different types (size/material) i think this is perhaps the most overlooked way to change a guitars tone. If fingers nails will be brighter than flesh.

if it is time to make a change in guitars and you would like a brighter sound than your current guitar i think spruce would be the way to go. Many different kinds but they will be brighter than any wood other than perhaps koa. solid top, good nut and saddle material, strings and pick and i think you can dial in the tone that pleases your ears.

best of luck on your guitar journey….i’d be glad to help in any way if i could.
