The next guitar we checked out is the Seagull Pepino D'Agostino signature model, which is part of Seagull's Artist Series.
Seagull is part of Canada's Godin Guitar Company, and they've built an excellent reputation for offering a lot of value in an acoustic guitar,
and this particular instrument is a great example.
This guitar was designed in close collaboration with fingerstyle player Pepino D'Agostino,
and he's been playing variations of this guitar himself for many years.
The guitar is based on Seagull's standard cutaway dreadnought body,
but at D'Agostino's request, the instrument has one of the widest necks found on any steel string guitar,
which at 1.9 inches is almost as wide as the neck on a classical guitar.
The Seagull is constructed with a solid Sitka spruce top, solid Indian rosewood back and sides,
and a mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard and bridge.
The guitar has a fairly short 24.9 inch scale and a string spacing at the saddle of 2 1 1 8 inches.
For the electronics package, Seagull chose a Canadian-made EPM system that consists of an under-saddle pickup with an internal microphone
and a preamp blender that's mounted in the guitar's side.
This preamp includes controls for volume, tone, and a unique way of blending in the microphone that allows for phase reversal,
depending on which way the microphone volume dial is turned.
An onboard tuner is also included, and this guitar has a list price of $1,690.
It sells on the street for about $1,400.
So as I mentioned earlier, this guitar has a very wide neck,
which players with large hands or those who are used to playing classical guitars will appreciate.
But the wider neck may be a revelation in how a steel string guitar can feel for any guitar player.
As I play this guitar, I notice how much easier it is to play certain passages more cleanly.
Notes of chords don't get damped.
There's room for a little vibrato on inner string, and much more.
In spite of the width at the neck, Seagull's string spacing at the saddle is actually relatively narrow,
and this combination leads to a unique feel and prevents the spacing from getting too wide as I play up the neck.
The result is a guitar that's very comfortable to play.
D'Agostino's music is harmonically rich and complex, requires a big sound,
and a guitar that can handle deep tunings and aggressive playing.
And it's easy to see how this guitar supports his sound, both plugged in and acoustically.
Let's listen to how it sounds acoustically.

Anyone who has seen Peppino D [A]'Agostino in concert knows that he gets a great sound on stage.
So we were curious how this guitar would sound at the Freight and Salvage Coffeehouse.
The results were pretty impressive.
Let's have a listen.
