Hi there!

I had bought a 50€ guitar a few months ago, utter crap, but I've played it so much that it is now broken. The bridge came off! lol...

Now I don't have a lot of money, but I would like to buy a used guitar, one that doesn't brake on me after a few months :p...
I've found a Seagull S6 for 180€, looks as new and has a good sound (no cracks). I was wondering if this is a good instrument for me? I'm not an absolute beginner, but I'm not very good yet either...

Maybe someone has a better suggestion?

Thanks for helping me out!

I've never owned a Seagull, just tried out a few in the shops. They seemed like very good value in terms of quality for the money. I suspect that shipping costs and import taxes have inflated the cost of a new instrument well beyong what we pay here in Canada, but a used instrument should be priced more reasonably.

It all boils down to whether this is a guitar you want to own, at a price you are willing to pay. If so, then buy it and enjoy! I assure you, there will be many guitars that come and go as you go through life. Don't worry about trying to find one that will last you for a lifetime. If it suits you now, it's appropriate. If your needs change, or you decide you want something different later, deal with that then.
