I think we have a musical instrument maker in forum and a lot of people who work with wood so I,m asking it here .This is an accoustic guitar . It goes by the name Seagull guitars , S , series.
Its last years model as they are upgrading by curving the top/front of the guitar . This guitar appears to have an oil rubbed finish in that it is not shiny at all like a laquer finish . I realise there may be some kind of poly plasticky or satin finish on there . It is not apparent . The store owner claims the front is cedar . On the internet site it says cedar/cherry or spruce . The back is two pieces joined together . The body is supposedly wild cherry and it has a pinkish look like cherry has sometimes . It is on the body that there is a slight depression about 3/4 of an inch long by 1/4 inch wide . It is not deep at all and the sides of the depression are rounded so I don,t think wood has been crushed . Can it be coaxed out ? If I remove finish or change its color I might as well live with it The reason I want this guitar is the price is very good ,it has a nice sound and a narrow neck which I like cause I have small hands . Its also a lefty which is a little harder to come by .
