2005 Seagull (Godin) MJM6 Jumbo Guitar

This guy got dropped-off for consignment yesterday. I'd set it up some time ago and it arrived playing exactly the same as it left, so I'd say that's a win, no?

Seagulls and other Godin products are sturdy and reliable instruments. This model goes after a bit of that "smaller jumbo" J-185 vibe with a 16" lower bout and shorter, 24 3/4" scale length. It sounds a bit like a Martin 000 but with a little bit more bass, a plainer voice, and more-present mids. It's got good punch, though, and volume to spare.

It's in good shape, too, save for a few nicks and dings here and there, and it's ready to go and playing bang-on. The top is solid spruce and the back and sides are ply mahogany. Seagulls tend to have wider nut widths but the neck profile front/back is slimmer and so it feels quick.

Condition notes: it's in overall good order but does show some nicks and dings (pictured below) on the top and back. There are no cracks and everything is original to the guitar. I normally level/dress frets on used instruments but this one did not need it -- the frets have only the mildest wear to them.
