Seagull is by far the most well known acoustic brand under the Godin family name. Back in 1982 Robert Godin started building the first Seagull's in La Patrie, Quebec and managed to create a community of artisans focused on creating sustainable, high quality guitars for hobbyists and working musicians. Fast forward to 2020, almost half the village residents are full-time guitar builders and the Godin name boasts 5 top notch acoustic/nylon brands, all with their own unique qualities. In 10 years as Godin dealers, we're constantly amazed by their ability to maintain quality and quantity while staying innovative in this ever changing industry. 

Made in Canada, this S6 Original features:

  • Solid Cedar top
  • Wild Cherry laminate back and sides
  • Adirondack spruce bracing
  • Kerfed headstock construction
  • Silver Leaf Maple set neck, 25.5" scale / 1.8" nut / 16" radius
  • Rosewood fingerboard
  • Dual action truss rod
  • Tusq saddle
  • Q1T Electronics with tuner 
  • Body depth: 4.9"
  • Body length: 19.8"
  • Lower bout: 15.87"
  • Upper bout: 11.38"
  • Waist: 10.54"
  • Gig bag (optional)  

The Seagull S6 is a blessing for any guitar player on a budget. The semi-gloss cedar top is elegant looking and the satin finish neck with Rosewood fretboard is easy to navigate. Tonally, this S6 took us by happy surprise. The Dreadnought shape provides plenty of projection and low end response, and the laminate cherry back and sides gives it a snappy attack that is similar to maple, but less dry sounding. The solid cedar top adds a touch of warmth and an already broken-in tone, which is what we love about cedar. Cowboy chords really pack a punch and the upper register has plenty of attack for adventurous leads.

The Quantum 1T electronics on the S6 are natural sounding and effective. Not your usual fat, rectangular cutout, the panel is a stylish teardrop shape and features Volume, Treble, Bass controls and an onboard tuner. We tested it through our Traynor Studio 60 (another win from Canada!) and it performed admirably. The saddle transducer is highly responsive to the natural acoustics while providing ample room for performance-ready tone shaping. For the bedroom, studio or the stage, the Seagull Maritime Mahogany is artfully crafted and totally affordable. As Godin dealers we have come to expect high quality products from Canada, and the Seagull S6 Original is no exception.
