Seagull Jr.
Owner: Julian Matthew

This Seagull Jr. was sent to me by Tom Tulotta of Bronxville NY. The Seagull Jr. has an unbound Rosewood finger board and slightly different electronics.
It needed a crack in the headstock repaired, new electronics, a complete new bottom side, a refinish and a complete setup. Tom had already done a fret job on the guitar. He did a good job and the guitar set up very well. This is really a beautiful Seagull. It plays great and I had forgotten how good these old Guild pickups sound, especially when you split the coils.

         

         

         

Seagull Jr. electronics are a little different than the later electronics package.
The pickup selector switch is located in the same place as a Les Paul. The rest of the electronics are in the normal BCR location. However, the switch functions are different. The bottom left switch is on-off. The switch to it's right is an out of phase switch. The booster volume and on-off switch next to each other and the switch below the booster switch is a dual coil split switch. The master volume is below the bridge and the tone is closest to the butt.

         

                   

                                                

This is a great set of progression pics. The top three were taken by Tom and sent to me. I received the guitar in the condition of the top right picture. The bottom left pic is after we changed the bottom half. The bottom center pic was when it came back from GMW after being refinished. The final pic was taken on 2-23-04 after It was completely finished.
I want to thank Tom for his patience during this project. Tom sent this guitar to me just as we were starting to get MCS up and running and it took way too long to finish. Thanks for the understanding Tom. I think you'll like the final outcome.
