Craftsmanship. Seagull is a brand that pays attention to build quality. The S6 feels like a guitar crafted by a skilled workforce.

Polyurethane is a cheaper alternative that’s almost as good, and Polyester is the cheapest option but it doesn’t provide as much protection. I have to add that there’s a downside to the acoustic-electric version of the Seagull S6. It runs on a 9V battery that’s inside the guitar, which makes it a hassle to change as you’d have to loosen off the strings every time. So this is one of the smallest types of acoustic guitar you can get. It has a much smaller body in terms of width, length and depth and the shape has a more defined waist than the dreadnought models. It is smaller than the Concert Hall models too. Its choice of tonewood is not the typical spruce wood top common on most beginner guitars. Instead, the Seagull S6 uses a pressure-tested solid cedar top . This tonewood creates a unique guitar tone, it’s sturdy, it’s light, and it sets the difference. The Entourage uses a solid spruce top while the S6 is solid cedar. Therefore, we hear some differences.

Whether you prefer a Cedar, Spruce or Mahogany top, a dreadnought, parlor or concert hall shape and whether or not you want built in electronics or not, there should be a model that suits you. The type of wood used for the body might alter the sound of the guitar, so keep that in mind if you’re searching for a specific tone.

Also, The S6 Original Left-Handed and the S6 Original Left-Handed Presys II variants are available there. Who Should Consider A Seagull S6 Original? There are not many complaints about this guitar aside from personal tastes. For example, if you dislike bigger nut guitars, bright sounds, or if you have small hands, then this is probably not for you.

High flying bird

Even so, the S6 has great tonewoods and great quality at a price that defeats most of its competition without too much hassle. That’s why I commend this guitar as the top of the mid-level acoustic guitar market.
