Seagull S-6+
[Submit a Review]

Price Paid: $200 used
Description: Made in Canada. 1997 dreadnaught, solid spruce top, laminated cherry sides and back, maple neck compensated saddle. The + in model # is for the darker stained back & sides
Tone:
Comments: Wonderful acoustic tone. Very well balanced.
Quality:
Comments: Great craftsmanship on these guitars. I bought it used and it was setup professionally before I bought it so I don't know about factory setup. Excellent tuners. Satin finish is nice to caress......sorry but it is.
Overall:
Pros: Scoop one of these guitars up before Seagull gets smart and ups the ante. Great value for any level of player. Gave it a 9 just cuz there ain't no such thang as a 10!
Cons: My brother-inlaw is an ex-con. Does that count? I haven't found any reasons why I shouldn't own this guitar, but my wife has.

Price Paid: $350 USD
Description: Made in Canada.
Tone:
Comments: The sound is never as bright as other acoustics i have played - it often sounds very thick and flat.
Quality:
Comments: Nothing special in quality - you pay for a no-name and you get the quality of a no-name. Its how you play it.
Overall:
Pros: Gorgeous color and finish. I have to stop noticing looks so much when I pick out guitars -- too bad i'm not blind.
Cons: I'd rather be playing a prs... but wouldn't everyone? i should have paid less for a used brand-name. This guitar sounded better in the store.
