Strum Mental

I was thinking it would be good to take my Seagull in for a side by side comparison

It's most definitely worth taking your guitar along.

Oh, and Richard's Guitars is in Stratford Upon Avon.

Guitars are pretty simple, once set up. Just plug in and play,  or in my case, pray ...

why that piece of equipment has to take such a complicated route to give you the desired outcome

 Well, I am looking for the "holy grail", Hugh, .... a right-handed strumming arm ... .

Not very helpful I'm afraid, but will give your quest some thought and come back if I have a - moment.

Good luck with the project.

@lemonstar , I only joined here today but can say from personal experience that Richard's Guitars provided me with excellent customer service last year when I was looking for a new acoustic guitar; one at the lower end of your price-range.

Jon, a guy in the sales team, really listened to me and to what I was looking for.

I also met Richard briefly, whilst visiting their showroom, nice guy too.

I had to make an appointment, and then they only allowed 1 or 2 into their showroom at a time, dunno about now. It is literally just across the road from the train station too, also parking outside.

BTW, I have no affiliation, other than buying an acoustic guitar through them. I just speak as I find.

Hope this is of some help, although you seem to be going for a rejuvenation project of your Seagull.

Hi, I've just joined the group.

Started learning to play acoustic guitar in May 2020, .... so a 'lockdown newbie'.
