    eventually I have played like 20 pure acoustic guitars and I my choice will be one between:
    Yamaha LL6 : sounds good, looks cool and solid
    http://snipurl.com/1fltj

    Seagull Entourage mini jumbo: sounds crisp and nice, looks different and has high quality standards
    http://snipurl.com/1fltl

    Can you give me your advice please?
    i need a nice giutar for playing pop music (not interested in jazz, blues etc..)

    thanks

    Have you played both? That'd be pretty much key here. One's a dreadnought and the other's a mini-jumbo. Aside from differences in wood and manufacturing, the two body shapes will have very different sounds, just a case of which you prefer really. Dreadnoughts are probably more typical, if that's the road you want to go down, but it really is a matter of preference.

    I've played both Yamaha and Seagull acoustics, and I'd have to say that the Seagull wins hands down.

    Both companies make some absolutely great acoustics, so I think the body shape and the sound he's going for will have to be the determining factors.

    You're right there.. the jumbo will be more typical of pop music anyway, the mini jumbo would be more at home playing folk/blues. I'd still have the Gully myself..

    Yamaha make some of the best acoustics in the world. You just havent played the right ones. Seagull make a few nice guitars but they don't hold a patch on some of the more expensive older japanese yamahas

    I'm in love with a Yamaha but I've never played a seagull so I can't compare. :D

    I'm a little biased towards Yammies...you have to hand it to them ...they make sweet guitars

    Just don't buy the yamaha in the yamaha store on Georges st. ... oh wow, went in there to buy a case and they were charging 1/3 more for an inferior case. Ick. The sooner normal shops get competitive the better.
