if you can sell it for more then its worth then do it, and which ever guitar after that you can use for different tunings. i only have one guitar and i use alot of different tunings on the one.

are you sure its not a solid top? I didnt know epiphone made a laminate top acoustic.

and if you can sell it for that much american you are getting a HUGE profit on it. i say do it and get somethign else for sure.

Great, but keep in mind its a jumbo and maple back and sides. but if you seagul is a cedar or sitka spruce then this would be a great contrast to the sound of that guitar.
Plan on this guitar sounding really bright. I have heard nothign but great things about it and would love to own one, but i have heard it feels awkward on the lap.

but i have never seen any near that cheap. typically after shipping for $550 - $600 USD.

and is the case a hard shell of chip board? I feel bad for vrazillians. seems liek they cant get any quality goods there.

i never played on a 12 string before...it feels like there's no spaces.. just strings
:lol: but is sounds great, and the guy just had the action lowered so it plays better than my seagull

if i keep it in standard tuning will it do any damage to the neck in the long run ?
