[HANASHIR:6058] guitars

[Wendy Goldberg <wendy.goldberg...>]

Hi, everyone.  Could you help me out?  I'm looking for a new guitar.  I've 
been songleading on a classical (yes, a classical) for years and I'm ready 
to upgrade to a steel-string.  I've been thinking I want one that can plug 
into an amp, but salespeople keep telling me that I can always add that 
later.  Lately, I've been playing on 12 string guitars and i'm really 
liking them, even better than the 6 string acoustics.

any insight here in terms of what might be better?

The 12 string guitars I'm looking at are

1.  an Epiphone for about $150 (used)

2.  A Seagull for about $295.  It is a cedar top, cherry laminate, bolt on 
neck, laquer finish and I understand the wood is from free fallen trees in 
Canada, subsidized by the governement.  I'm not sure what of that 
information is relevant or helpful.

Any opinions will be welcome.  I've convinced both places to let me have 
the guitars for this week,  when I lead Kabbalat Shabbat at school and thru 
Hava Nashira, but I'd like to get  some help with this decision ahead of 
next week.  Thanks!
