Seagull S6: A Stellar Entry-level Acoustic Guitar

The Seagull S6 Original acoustic guitar offers smooth playability and great tone at an exceptional value. Its pressure-tested cedar top and 3-layer wild cherry back and sides give you a warm, detailed tone. The Seagull S6's modified dreadnought body shape eliminates unwanted boominess and gives you a full-range tone that's great for all styles of music. The integrated set neck and compound curved top offer increased tuning stability, resonance, and projection. Long known as a great value in the guitar world and appreciated here at Sweetwater, the Seagull S6 Original acoustic is an affordable guitar with great features.

Seagull's quest for tone

Robert Godin, the owner of Seagull Guitars, has never been satisfied with "good enough." His tireless search for a better guitar has created quite a few innovations that go into every guitar model that Seagull makes. Every Seagull S6 Original top is pressure tested for rigidity and stiffness to ensure maximum harmonic vibration. The unique compound curved top adds structural integrity to the guitar and allows for thinner bracing. The Seagull S6 Original will give you years of great performance.

Innovative neck construction and mounting deliver killer playability and tone

The attention to detail given to each Seagull shows in its looks, playability, and tone. Seagull has also taken extra care to ensure that the S6 Original neck helps to create an amazing guitar experience. An acoustic guitar's neck is more than just a fretboard used for playing; it also creates the guitar's tone. Seagull's integrated set neck gives your guitar the sound you want and the stability you need in a performing guitar. This system provides stable and consistent action that also reduces warping and twisting. Thanks to this integrated system, the Seagull S6 Original neck pitch is perfectly set. If it's too far forward, the instrument will sound muddy, and if it's too far back, the guitar will sound tinny. Seagull's design assures optimized sound and playability with these and other innovations found in the entire Seagull line.

Handcrafted in Canada for more than a quarter century

For over 25 years, Seagull guitars have been handcrafted in the small village of La Patrie in eastern Quebec. About half of the population works to create these exquisite guitars. Most of the tonewoods are also harvested from Canadian forests. You'll love the attention to detail, the quality tonewoods, and Seagull's commitment to making the best guitars possible. Grab a Seagull S6 Original and experience the difference.

Seagull S6 Original Acoustic Guitar Features:

  • Pressure-tested cedar top offers superior tone, projection, and response
  • Laminate wild cherry back and sides deliver a detailed tone between warm mahogany and bright maple
  • Modified dreadnought body shape cuts unwanted boominess, making it great for recording and live shows
  • 1.8" nut width is great for players with larger hands

  • TUSQ nut and compensated saddle offer a sound similar to bone but with more harmonics
  • Thin, custom-polished finish lets the guitar vibrate more freely
  • Dual-function truss rods assure the perfect neck alignment and relief

25 years and still great!

I got this thing 25 years ago... After going into the acoustic room at a guitar shop and playing pretty much every acoustic they had, a couple of Martin's were close but I kept coming back to this one... It really is one of the warmest, deepest sounding acoustic guitars I have ever played and its still great after 25!

‘Lucky Find’

In the store strumming an acoustic with price tag bout $1200.00 and saw a guitar hanging that I had not seen before. Asked about it, they said it just arrived. What caught my eye was the cool headstock. Took it down and played a series of my favorite chords and went home with it! Yes, that quickly!..Looks great, feels great, and sounds great!

Amazing Guitar and Amazing Customer Service

I had attempted to buy this guitar at a major retailer, but after being kept in the dark about shipping time estimates (the guitar had been backordered for like two months) I canceled my order. I was given a vague window of 3-4 months before my order would finally ship out after the initial 2 months, but there was little clarification or communication during the whole process. I didn't mind waiting at all; I know we're in the middle of a pandemic so it's no big deal. It was more or less the uncertainty on whether or not I'd ever get my order, and the lack of communication that mattered to me. Anyway, despite having not heard of Sweetwater before, I decided to give them a try and bought the same guitar. It turns out, it was also back ordered, BUT they were VERY vocal about it with constant updates, pictures of the guitar, emails detailing my order, and even voicemails (kinda caught me off guard lol). It was all very much appreciated. After ordering, my stuff still came in super quickly! Within two weeks I finally had my Seagull S6! Now I'm finally enjoying this high quality guitar. It is tons of fun to play with. The look, feel, and sound of it emulate a guitar of a higher price range. Seriously this guitar is impressive and definitely worth the buy!

As good as a Gibson?? MAYBE,

At the beginning of the pandemic, I ordered a Gibson. Love all American made and of course who doesnt want a Gibson.. They back ordered it and seemed like it would be forever. I bought a cheap Yamaha and it was okay, but, it is what it is.. SO after talking with my son, who is a great musician and has played them all.. HE told me, Dad, look at the SeaGull. It even has the wider neck for your meat hook hands.. SO I cancelled my Gibson order and got the SeaGull.. saved half the money too. WELL I have had it for a year, and it has sure been a great guitar.. Easy to play with my big, sausage like fingers and sounds wonderful. NOT flashy looking, but, looks nice.. I recently bought a Takamne 12 string.. The Seagull is still my fav. SO buy one, play one and save yourself some money..

Seagull original 6

I bought a 1 year old Seagull 6 8 years a go. It was like new had not hardley been played, I have played most ever day since then. Just change strings about ever three months, no problem. other then a few dings In that same perod of time I have bought and sold several guitars of all brand s including three Martins, Hd 28 .& D35 and one cheaper martin.I bought the Martins thinking i would play them rather then the seagull WRONG! the seagull just sounds better( Istill have the d35 } nice guitar but i play the seagull more, I keep thinking the Martins should really have something going for them with price they are?? Maybe its the name although they seem very well built. conclusion its hard to be the quality the sound and the price of a Seagull
