A 406mm fingerboard radius and low action make the Seagull S6 a comfortable guitar that is great for beginners and intermediate guitarists. Saddle and Nut

I've learned that even if you're looking at a particular model of guitar, each one is different and has a voice of its own, so I'm reluctant to buy an instrument on line; I have to see it first, smell it, test tone and plability action, intonation and so on. Likewise, if you want to travel with your instrument. Then the BT2 is a superb choice because of its portability.

Seagull explains that by putting the tuners in line with the nut, they were able to improve tunning stability. This is a detail that makes the Seagull S6 a great quality beginner guitar, just as much as a great quality guitar for people on a budget. Saddle & nut Truth is, let the size be the guide with this one. The BT2 is an affordable chance to own a Taylor. But if you find a 3/4 size guitar claustrophobic—then it’s the S6 all the way. The Bottom Line The nut is 45mm, meaning electric players may have to get used to the wider size at first. The most important thing is that they are all high-quality parts that come together to create a unique tone.

The sound of this guitar is amazing. It's a dreadnought so the sound really resonates and sounds very rich. I could play this thing for hours and forget how fast time is passing by. Anytime I'm stressed, this guitar soothes me. Anytime I'm sad, this guitar produces beautiful sad sounds. When I'm happy, this thing can get loud and fill the entire house with major chords! I've had this guitar for 3 years now and it sounds better than before!Let’s move on to the sound quality of the S6. It is an award winner by beginner’s standards, even hailed to be perfect for more advanced plays by a few. The S6 employs scalloped bracing in an x-configuration and a top fashioned of pressure-tested solid cedar. The bracing is crafted of quarter-sawn Sitka spruce, carved to match perfectly the contours of the guitar’s top. The action is comparable to the higher-end and more extortionate Taylor acoustic guitars – a noble feat. Fretting is easy and relaxed, requiring no substantial effort, and perfect for guitarists of all levels. The overall tunes that come from the S6 are distinctive, as it is not usually found in beginner models.

S6 Original Slim Q1– Older SLIM acoustic-electric version equipped with Godin Quantum 1 electronics. With strings resting on Tusq rather than cheap plastic, you get more harmonics. This gives you a bright, lively sound that cuts through with clarity. It’s bassy but not boomy, shiny but not harsh, with a long sustain. The Seagull S6 Original offers a clear rich and warm tone that is radiant in expression – perfect for those nights you want to spend strumming along with your mates or if you’re looking for some quiet contemplation music as you hone your bard-like craft. The rings are clearer, louder, and more distinct than a beginner’s guitar which may not suit all tastes. Tonewoods are integral to the sound of an acoustic guitar. The sound quality of the S6 Seagull is down to, in no small part, the quality of wood. On the downside, it might be bright for some people, and the sound of open chords might be a bit chimney.

Success

There are two problems that you may have with this guitar. Since it is dreadnought style, it may be big for some people. When I first got this guitar, it was hard to get used to the big body (the sound was so amazing that I kept playing anyway), but you do get used to it. To prevent this, a configuration of thin wood supports the guitar’s top wood; this underlying support system is referred to as the guitar’s bracing. We often speak of playability as preferential. What if you got the S6, but you didn’t find it to your liking? The Seagull S6 Original has had a refresh, making this amazing steel strung acoustic guitar even better than before. Hand built in Canada to a high specification, it is also incredible value for money. It is little wonder that this instrument has won numerous awards.
