"Seagull S6 Original QIT Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Burnt Umber"

First of all this guitar is beautiful. It is unique and striking. It stays in tune. It sustains for days. The action is like an solid body electric. It has low action all the way down the neck. It was shipped impeccably. The chords ring out like a bell. The price is phenomenal. There is a reason I only buy from zZounds.com. Its because they let play while you pay. This is a company that cares about musicians because they are musicians. Anyway I digress. The neck is a satin finish that rivals my $2000 PRS CE. It is like butter. The nut which governs tuning (& staying in tune) is a Tusq nut, which is what I use to replace stock nuts on a lot of my guitars. ThIs guitar is made in North America, Canada specifically, not in an asian factory 7000 miles away. The body is slightly smaller than a dreadnought. I love it. Maybe hand sits directly over the sound hole because ts in the same position as in my electrics. I looked many times at similarly priced Taylors which are fine guitars, but I believed eve I made the best choice for me.

Musical Background:

I have been playing guitar forever. Have Gibson, PRS, Ibanez, Epiphone etc. now a Seagull.

Musical Style:

I play rock. Some heavier metal, southern rock and singer/songwriter acoustic songs.

"~$500 guitar plays like a $1000 guitar"

Just received mine today. The fit and finish were flawless. With a little tuning, the guitar plays, sounds, and feels fantastic. The neck makes it feel like a top of the line electric guitar, the design makes it sound like a professional $1000 guitar. Best value for the money-will definitely buy other models in the Seagull line. The finish (Burnt Umber) is glorious, and the spruce binding is a nice touch.

Musical Background:

Have been playing woodwind and stringed instruments for over 30 years

Musical Style:

I have a wide variety/range of tastes.

"S6 QIT is Everything they say it is"

It arrived in a slightly banged up box due to the neglegence of a federal shipping company whom i won't name. Luckily for me Godin ships their guitars in the most solid air bubble armor that I've ever encountered. Right out of the box this guitar was ready to sing, and sing it did. Without tuning I played an Emajor and to my surprise it was in tune. About 3 minutes later, after the previously mentioned chord finally stopped ringing, I plugged her into the soundboard and the tone was impeccable and clear. It's a solid guitar as well. it doesn't feel thin or cheap. The action is low and the neck is smooth. I had my worries from blindly purchasing this unique masterpiece but I am very glad I trusted the reviews and description of this angelic bird. It truly is as described, if not better. I don't think you'll find a better acoustic electric in this price range.
