Product Description
Introducing the New S6 Original Slim featuring (you guessed it) 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 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 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 choice. Original series guitars feature very smooth necks made from Silver Leaf Maple.More About Seagull Guitars

Seagull S6 Original Slim Guitar Reviews
| 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful  Excellent guitar, especially for beginners, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Seagull S6 Original Slim Guitar (Electronics) I've been wailing on this guitar for about a month. I have never actually played the guitar before this month (although I have played the viola for countless years). I know from experience that the most difficult part in being motivated to play an instrument is definitely the beginning. However, this Seagull S6 Slim, although its given me some beastly calluses, has been an incredible instrument to learn how to play the guitar on this past month and I am more motivated now than ever to master the basic techniques and learn the more difficult ones (probably in the far off future).I looked through a lot of music stores and as far as sound versus price went, this guitar was definitely one of the best that I found. It had an incredibly full tone compared to the other guitars in its price range and the thing is freaking loud. I liked the "slim" version of the S6 more. I have pretty skinny (but long) fingers and it felt a lot more comfortable in my hands. Other stuff:... Read more 9 of 11 people found the following review helpful Breathtaking...., By This review is from: Seagull S6 Original Slim Guitar (Electronics) I bought this guitar a little over two hours ago at a local guitar shop in Chicagoland. I intended on buying a guitar in Seagull's Artist series that was more than twice it's price. After playing both, it seemed senseless to spend more on another guitar. The S6 Slim is the guitar I have been dreaming about for years. This is the most beautiful guitar you will hear, at ANY price. This guitar can be bought for well under $400. It is worth EVERY penny. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful Worth every penny, This review is from: Seagull S6 Original Slim Guitar (Electronics) I bought my Seagull S6 Slim about 5 months ago, and it seems to sound better every time I play it. I ordered one online without ever playing one, because of all the great reviews. Made in a small town in Canada, it's refreshing to find such a quality, reasonably priced guitar that's not made in Asia. I replaced the strings with Elixir light gauge, and I borrowed a set of nut files to lower the strings at the nut. I bought this guitar so I could have one at work all the time. I work at a hospital and we have a group that will sing hymns for the patients and families that request us. I have a 1983 Martin D35 that I keep at home. I'll have to say that I still like the Martin more, but I can't say it's worth 6 times the price I paid for the Seagull. This S6 slim is really enjoyable to play, and it's also the best smelling guitar I've ever played, due to the cedar. I suppose that scent will fade over the years, but it's the first thing that hits you when you take the guitar out of the case. |
