    I recently email Seagull to explain the difference between the two acoustic S8 mandolins, one with blond top and one with burnt umber. It seems that they are identical with the exceptional of the finish and the pickguards. I like the way the burnt umber looks better than the blond. The one I played was a burnt umber model but the price is $50 higher than the blond.

    I wonder if their customer service is a little lacking, though James Miller had no problem contacting them for replacement tuners.

    Had contacted The Acoustic Room, from whom I bought the Seagull S8 from. Mark Pongetti did the magic!

    I guess they don't want to speak with consumers but only through dealers. Strange. We are the ones who buy these in the final rounds.
