Well, I got antsy and went to the store and bought the Tamakine GS330S. Have to say that I absolutely LOVE it. Sounds great. Plays awesome and was $100 less than the seagull that I was looking at. According to the dude in the shop, when people want the seagulls but don't wanna cough up the cash, the takamine is the perfect substitute for them... This was $250 (add $9 for a strap)
The seagull I was looking at was closer to $400 so I figured for the $250 and another $75 for an awesome gigbag/hardshell case that it was worth the money. Spent 4 hours on that thing last night and I'm typing this in with one hand =)

thanks for the replys as always...
btw.. here's the link to the G330S.. (there is no pic for the GS series)
