Tone:
Comments: a full, even warm tone...and getting better with age. a very dynamic guitar. It can be played very hard and loud without losing tone. An excellent recording guitar!
Quality:
Comments: The neck is superb with great low action all the way up to and above the 15th fret. Tuning machines hold excellent tune. attractive natural matt-lacquer finish. A very durable instrument.
Overall:
Pros: I have owned this instrument for 18 years and I still love the tone and playability of it. The Seagull S model is a very responsive and dynamic sounding guitar. A GREAT value for the money.
Cons: On this particular instrument the pickguard was installed crooked which has lead to marring of the top, and the bridge pin holes are a bit too large to properly hold the pins tightly.
