Seagull S6 Original Slim Guitar

The Seagull S6 Guitar--The Original But Slimmer

Winner of several awards the S6 is perhaps the instrument that best represents the Seagull philosophy. The S6 Slim offers entry level players the opportunity to experience the great feel and superb sound provided by a hand finished neck with a more traditional nut width feel aswell as a select solid Cedar top and a Custom Polished finish.

The back and sides are constructed of wild cherry the neck of silver-leaf maple and a rosewood fingerboard and bridge.

Seagull guitars all feature Tusq nuts and saddles. The fully compensated saddle helps the Seagull S6 original acoustic guitar play beautifully in-tune all over the neck.

The Seagull S6 Original Slim: A Slimmer Trimmer Acoustic Guitar

Most of us think we could all use a slightly slimmer trimmer version of ourselves (especially as the holiday season comes and goes). However does this also translate to your acoustic guitar? Well why not?

Godin Guitars the Canadian manufacturer of Seagull acoustic guitars has put this idea into motion after realizing that certain players love the S6 Original but prefer a more traditional feeling nut width. So Godin made it happen.

The S6 Original Slim features a comfortable slimmer than traditional 1.72" (4.37 cm) nut width. The same nut width as its parlor sized little friend with the big sound the Seagull Grand. The Slims cream binding also helps differentiate this model from its S6 Original counterpart. The combination of the solid cedar top and wild cherry back & sides gives this guitar a full warm contoured sound further accentuated by the comfort of the silver leaf maple neck with rosewood fingerboard and double function truss rod. Another key characteristic to these guitars as with all Seagull guitars is the use of genuine lacquer finish which enables the top to breathe and vibrate freely. This in turn promotes the aging process of the guitar meaning that your instrument will actually sound better the more it is played over time.

The S6 Original Slim keeps with the same high standards of quality and musicality which has garnered the ever-popular S6 Original many accolades and awards since its early beginnings.

The Seagull Original Guitar Series

The guitars that make up the Seagull Original series represent one of the world's outstanding values in acoustic guitars. The back and sides of the Original series models are made from a three-layer lamination of Wild Cherry wood. With a sound that lands somewhere between the mellow tone of a Mahogany guitar and the bright sound of Maple Wild Cherry has proven itself to be an excellent tone wood. Grown locally Wild Cherry is also an ecologically friendly choice. Original series guitars feature very smooth necks made from Silver Leaf Maple.
