@lemonstar , I only joined here today but can say from personal experience that Richard's Guitars provided me with excellent customer service last year when I was looking for a new acoustic guitar; one at the lower end of your price-range.
Jon, a guy in the sales team, really listened to me and to what I was looking for.
I also met Richard briefly, whilst visiting their showroom, nice guy too.
I had to make an appointment, and then they only allowed 1 or 2 into their showroom at a time, dunno about now. It is literally just across the road from the train station too, also parking outside.
BTW, I have no affiliation, other than buying an acoustic guitar through them. I just speak as I find.
Hope this is of some help, although you seem to be going for a rejuvenation project of your Seagull.
