I own a Seagull Maritime Cedar GT that's about ~8 years old. Then it was made with laminated Mahogany sides and back, and solid Mahogany neck. These days the Maritime is made with solid Mahogany sides, back, and neck, set neck joined at the 14th fret, and can be purchased with or without a cutout and/or electronics. Mine is standard, no electronics and as you would guess by the name, the soundboard is solid cedar. It sounds great and looks great too. The fingerboard is slightly wider than your average electric, well suited for fingerpicking and feels great to me. Mine, though bought used, has great intonation, and the soundboard looks great (I personally like the deeper reddish tone). New ones are available with both Cedar or Spruce if I'm not mistaken. Check out their website for full details. Good used ones can be gotten for ~$250 US plain, plus another $100 or so for electronics, doesn't include the cost of a case though that might be there for the bargain if you're lucky, but a gig bag is usually included. I really love mine. Paid a little more for it than I could have but the kid selling it had a newborn and needed every cent he could scrounge. As for size, mine fits in a dreadnought case with a *little* room to spare, so it's definitely not parlor size. I'm a big guy (by that I mean overweight) but it feels fine to me (I'm 5'10"). I think Seagulls are one of the better guitars made in North America. Oh, and I LOVE the sound - a little bright but with a midrange and bass to match, and enough volume to hang with loose jam session or family/friends play/sing along circle. Check out the Seagull group here too.
