Or a guitar for a lifetime? This could be both... some wisdom... - I've waited a good long time to review this. This guitar is, imho, excellent for everyone from rank beginner to intermediate-advanced players. Let me clarify: If you have no idea whether you'll still be plinking away after the first few hours, then by all means rent one for your first several lessons. That way, you can experience playing, possibly several different guitars, before making a choice. Personally, I'm no professional musician - or even close. That's what made the S6 absolutely VITAL to me. I'm good enough to tell when something sounds wrong, but not always good enough to tell when it's me or a flaw in the guitar. This is where the Seagull has my back. When the sound coming from the S6 isn't all it could be - I look to my playing to discover why - not to the Seagull itself. Other than getting a little dead when it needs a new set of strings, which is my fault for not replacing them often, it never dissapoints. This is good, because I'm learning to play properly - not how to compensate for a poor-sounding instrument. I don't have a lot to un-learn later because of starting off using a cheapo beginner's instrument. I wasn't able to go play 40 guitars and pick one from the herd, due to time, distance, and skill or lack thereof. What I did instead was perhaps better for me at the time - I listened to the pros play them. Then, I asked them questions... The S6 and its cousins emerged as excellent sounding instruments, and didn't require a ridiculous budget to purchase. That was then - this is now. The S6 has been way more than good enough to provide the music for our own radio commercials... Verdict: If and when you take Nashville by storm, you may want something prettier, or flashier, or with a different "voice" - but I bet you won't sell off your Seagull when that day comes. For my part, it's more guitar than I'll ever outgrow... The seagull arrived here nicely set up, action spot on, tuned it and played it a little right out of the box, sounded good. As it adjusted to the temperature and humidity, and got a few miles on it, it now sounds great. Holds tuning well, and I've not had any problems with the 14:1 tuning pegs, though others have. One day when I'm good enough with this thing, I'll treat myself to a set of gold plated 18:1' pegs, or maybe not... :) Strings: My preferred are D'Addario EJ16-3D Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings, Light - price around and you'll find them three sets for about thirteen bucks - and you want to keep a few spares around. On the S6 I find them easy enough to fret but they still don't go unduly sharp when you get aggressive with pressing them, and even so they are stiff enough to provide room filling sound yet not be buzzing around all over the place... Tuning - There's a nice free kindle app for that called TUN-D. Nice, and it tunes alternate tunings as well as long as it's using the 6 main notes. (DADGAD ok, but not the alternate tunings with sharps - still doable but you'll have to fret those to tune them.) Quality wise - no sweat. The only gripe I have is that the finish is easy to scratch.

Review: Seagull S6 Dreadnought - Seagull guitars have intrigued me for years in photos and on their website, but there is no dealer anywhere near me, so I bought one sight-unseen from desertcart, based on the good reviews. I'm glad to say I can add my voice to the chorus of praise for this innovative design. A traditionalist will need some time to become accustomed to the unusual appearance and construction. The narrow, reverse-taper headstock and wide fingerboard give this guitar a bottom-heavy look when viewed vertically. Back and sides are cherry with only a light stain, and the binding is dark. The top is natural cedar. As dreadnoughts go, this one is very comfortable to play sitting down. It appears to be based on the Martin outline, but with a slightly rounder lower bout and a narrower upper bout. Weight is pleasantly light, and the semi-gloss finish is comfortable to the touch. Players with broad fingers will appreciate the wide fingerboard, but those with small hands should consider the ""Slim" version, with a neck 0.08" narrower at the nut. Sound is what really counts, however, and this Canadian dreadnought has nothing to be ashamed of there. The maker has the good sense to ship the instrument with high-quality, fresh strings, allowing the new owner to appreciate the notable bass and clear midrange as soon as it is tuned up. Overall, it falls within the classic dreadnought tone category, with good volume. Buying a guitar online saves money but leaves setup to the buyer. Both the nut and saddle on my guitar needed lowering, and the truss rod required adjustment (a long-reach hex wrench is included). If you are not experienced in these tasks, a local luthier should do it for no more than $30 or so. Based on sound, playability once adjusted, and construction quality, this guitar should definitely be included when comparing instruments in this price range. It is a real standout in value. Update 8 DEC 2012: The more I play this guitar, the more I love it. It delivers balanced sound with good dreadnought "snap", and once the action was dialed in, the broad fingerboard relieves finger crowding I didn't fully realize hindered my playing. I am considerng replacing my Takamine mini-jumbo with a Seagull equivalent. ## Features - Made in North America - Select Pressure Tested Top - Double Action Truss Rod - Tapered Headstock for precise and stable tuning and great for open tunings - Tusq nut and compensated saddle for better intonation ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000RW0GT6 | | Back Material Type | Wild Cherry | | Best Sellers Rank | #249,926 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #1,050 in Steel-String Acoustic Guitars | | Body Material Type | Wild Cherry | | Brand Name | Seagull | | Color | Natural | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (178) | | Fretboard Material Type | Indian Rosewood | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00623501029396 | | Guitar Bridge System | Rosewood | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Included Components | with case | | Item Dimensions | 46 x 18.5 x 7.5 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 46"L x 18.5"W x 7.5"H | | Item Weight | 4 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Seagull | | Manufacturer Part Number | S6 CED NT GT | | Model Number | Seagull S6 Original | | Neck Material Type | Silver Leaf Maple | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Scale Length | 24.84 | | String Material Type | Phosphor Bronze | | Top Material Type | Cedar Wood | | UPC | 623501039906 411378261397 623501029396 | | Warranty Description | Limited lifetime on workmanship. 1 year on electronics. | ## Product Details - **Back Material Type:** Wild Cherry - **Body Material:** Wild Cherry - **Brand:** Seagull - **Color:** Natural - **Fretboard Material Type:** Indian Rosewood - **Guitar Bridge System:** Rosewood - **Hand Orientation:** Right - **Neck Material Type:** Silver Leaf Maple - **String Material Type:** Phosphor Bronze - **Top Material Type:** Cedar Wood ## Images ![Seagull S6 Original - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AinwnIbEL.jpg) ![Seagull S6 Original - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61e1actWrNL.jpg) ![Seagull S6 Original - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Tzw4OoBHL.jpg) ![Seagull S6 Original - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KuZtq3TIL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Would this be a good beginner choice for my 13 year old daughter? She is an accomplished piano player and begging for a guitar.** A: The Seagull S-6 is a fabulous guitar, especially at this price. I've owned mine for almost nine years and I fall in love with it every time I take it out of the case and play it. But it's probably NOT the guitar your daughter needs if she's not a large 13 year old. I would highly recommend you consider a couple others (one of which I also own and love). I own a Taylor GS mini and my room mate owns a Baby Taylor. Either one will cost under $500. Both are reduced scale (3/4 size) guitars. My GS Mini is all Mahogany, while his Baby Taylor is Spruce top with Sapele back & sides (Sapele is an African wood much like Mahogany). I would try both of these great guitars an choose either one based upon fit and sound preference. **Q: i have short fingers, will i be able to play this guitar?** A: Hello, not sure how short is short but I believe the neck is narrow enough where most people regardless of finger length should be able to play the guitar. I would take a chance because the acoustics are really nice. **Q: Does the S6 use a bolted neck connection, similar to Taylor and other makers?** A: If you watch the Youtube video of the Godin guitar factory tour who makes Seagull you will see that it is an epoxied set neck which also uses bolts. You can not remove the neck by just removing the bolts. **Q: I have this model. It's a great guitar, but the tuners are getting little bit old. Could you advise me which tuners must be the best for Seagull?** A: Before you change tuners, check if they are simply getting sticky - sometimes a bit of white grease in the right spot sorts everything out. Also, they make replacements from the factrory. If upgrading, I'd probably go for a little better gear ratio in a quality tuner, makes it less quick and hair trigger to move up or down a bit. Always seemed a bit sensitive to me. 18/1 comes to mind... ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looking for a good beginner guitar? Or a guitar for a lifetime?

I really appreciate this on now. The sound is far superior to my beginner model. This guitar didn't break my bank and I think it looks nice. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/712508-seagull-s6-original](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/712508-seagull-s6-original) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
