Seagull S6 Guitar

Are you searching for an amazing entry-level acoustic guitar that won't break the bank? Look no further than the award-winning Seagull S6 Original Acoustic Guitar, now available at Austin Bazaar!

The following customer review is a testament to the quality you can expect from the Seagull S6:

"I had read great reviews about Seagull guitars but was always skeptical to stray from better-known brands. A few years ago, I was in the market for an upgrade when I stumbled across the S6 modeI. I couldn't believe how beautifully it played. Like some other reviews you might find, I can attest that Seagull is the Taylor for guitar lovers on a tight budget."

So what is it about the S6 guitar that makes it the talk of the acoustic guitar town? Seagull Guitars (a sub-brand of Godin guitars) are manufactured in Canada, and the craftsmanship and fine materials that go into these guitars clearly contributes to their impressive tone and playability. One of the most desirable features in the Seagull S6 acoustic guitar in particular is its Solid Cedar top.

Solid vs. Laminate Guitar Tops

An acoustic guitar's tone is greatly affected by what the top is made of, and while many entry-level guitars give laminate tops, the Seagull S6 guitar features a pressure-tested solid cedar top. Why is this important?

Laminate guitar tops typically consist of a thin layer of expensive wood on top of many layers of cheaper wood. These layers will naturally suppress the resonance and tone of the guitar. 

Guitars with tops made out of one solid piece of wood tend to have a fuller and more resonant tone. So the solid cedar top on the S6 makes a huge difference! Combine this with the S6's wild cherry back and sides and you get a tone that blends the mellow warmth of a mahogany guitar with the bright sound of maple.

S6 Solid Cedar Top

At $429 the S6 may not be the cheapest price point in the entry-level market, but the quality that goes into these guitars is enough to please intermediate and professional players alike. It’s the acoustic guitar that you’ll be glad to have for years to come.
