Thanks for the comments everyone! Will hopefully be able to post pics on Wednesday but the maple on this guitar is GORGEOUS and (although I don't know anything yet) it sure sounds nice to me! I think I got a heck of a guitar for $250.

I'm not familiar enough with Godin's line-up to know if the 20th Anniversary was a special edition of the S6 or something else/more. Maybe someone can educate me.

Welcome to the forum! I'll echo what others have said and tell you that your Seagull is an Excellent choice for a first guitar.
Most of us old timers started on Stella & Harmony guitars and have the scars to prove it!

I had an S6 myself set up for DADGAD tuning.
