Full Description
View Full DescriptionUnique in looks, sensational in sound
Cedar. It's the tonewood of dreams. Especially if you're a fingerstyle guitarist. Used for the solid top, this luscious, premium quality wood produces a supremely articulate sound with wonderfully rich overtones. Its sonic character is unparalleled, promising a dazzlingly unique performance.
Wild cherry back and sides complement the cedar top exquisitely. Even just the name has an air of beauty about it. Wild cherry delivers a tone that falls between the mellow warmth of mahogany and the bright clarity of maple, and so, you guessed it, you'll have brilliantly balanced tonal capabilities bowing to your every command.
Two more remarkable tonewoods
With Seagull, spectacular quality isn’t just limited to the body of the guitar, it extends to every single detail. The neck and fretboard of the S6 are stunning examples of this. On your palm will lie silver leaf maple, a tonewood that offers rich warmth and punchy mids, making it ideal for a range of genres. The neck is then layered with a rosewood fretboard, providing a silky-smooth playing experience. Slide from fret to fret in seamless style and achieve flawless fluidity during every performance.
Powerful projection
The Seagull S6 features a traditional dreadnought body, a shape which offers superb projection whilst still maintaining overall tonal balance. Although the dreadnought was originally designed for hard pick attack, the S6 Acoustic is able to accommodate numerous genres and playing styles. Plus, its sheer volume makes it the perfect vocal accompaniment for acoustic settings - it will sing just as loud as you do. Its broad size is also ideal for players who have a longer reach and are therefore more comfortable with bigger bodied guitars.
