i also spied a baby jumbo Faith Neptune
Not sure if I should get a seagull s6 and then buy a pickup later for it rather than the Q1 S6 electro acoustic. Anyone know what the stock Seagull pickups are like ?
My reservation about Seagull is that they sound great new, but are not very durable.

What kind of repairs?
More headstock breaks than any brand other than Gibson, top braces coming off, splits in the tops, and the very thin finish wears through in no time - you may think that looks cool, but it leaves the wood unprotected. Basically they seem to be built lightly to sound great out of the box, which they do - but they're too flimsy to last very long.

Now looking at Faith but maybe the Naked series lack of finish could lead to problems too ...
I didn't like the look of it when I bought it- VERY anemic. After aging a couple of years it's a beautiful pale honey colour now.
It sounds & plays amazing though & is a perfect sofa guitar.
Not ruled out the Seagull yet though .
Edit: Big Baby Taylor in the lead, but now looking at some 14 fret parlors, tyre kicking....
Update: Faith Neptune Cedar/Mahog back into the lead! The black satin one looks cool, but I think a non electro would be fine, and I'd look at an aftermarket pickup.

There's also 'travel' guitars if you're looking for a smaller scale. GS Mini. Guild and Eastman do something very similar.
