Bumping this in the hope of more experiences from someone? I am considering an electric uke, and the Seagull is the only one around the local shops here.
I have tried the steel strung one, but during the about 2x5 minutes I've handled it (unplugged) I didn't really fall in love. I have been playing an acoustic concert with a ~35mm wide nut and didn't find a comfortable home on the Seagull fretboard. Admittedly, I haven't played any steel stringed instrument.
Bazmaz @ Gotaukulele is very picky about narrow nuts, but it surprises me that he found the steel strung Seagull's nut comfortable.
I know the nylon strung version's fretboard is wider, but so are the radia of the strings. I've understood it's 34mm (although the manufacturer itself quotes the same width as the steel version on their website, and it has been copied to many retailers' pages too - but the pics make it clear enough they're not the same).
I also gathered from the guys at Hawaiian Music Supply on YouTube that they liked the steel version better, which worries me as well. They said that the nylon version could be helped with better strings though.
On the other hand I Read On The Internet that the nylon version was not planned at first at all, and someone was suspicious as to how much sense it makes to make a nylon version based on the same construction than the steel. Something to do with the tension or whatever.
Quite little experiences found anywhere.
Any thoughts?
