Seagull Artist Mosaic CW QII Guitar

The Seagull Artist Mosaic CW QII Guitar

The Mosaic CW is the cutaway version of the standard Seagull Artis Mosaic model -- and this model is also equiped with Godin's QII technology.

The Mosaic is a solid cedar top guitar with mahogany back and sides. The cedar mahogany combination typically produces a sweet sound. The custom polished finish further enhances the sweet sound of this combination. This model excels in more intimate musical settings.

The Godin QII (Quantum 2)

The Godin EPM Quantum II acoustic guitar system provides outstanding sound reproduction and performance.

The Quantum II is a hybrid system combining an exceptionally responsive saddle transducer and high quality electret microphone in a simple, but very effective, configuration. The microphone capsule, specifically designed for use in this application, is mounted at the end of a 6 inch flexible boom integral to the side mount electronics. Four rotary controls adjust microphone presence / phase, overall volume, and saddle transducer bass & treble. Electronics and controls are packaged in an easy to use and logical format complemented with a finely crafted pewter cover plate.

Microphone signal can be added and blended either in phase or out of phase with the saddle transducer signal. This allows the user to cancel (or notch) potentially undesirable frequencies while accentuating others. This flexibility in combining signals results in outstanding clarity and richness of tone.

The Godin QII also includes a built-in high quality digital chromatic tuner with LED display.

Seagull Artist Series

The new compound curve top concept was originally developed for the Seagull Artist Series guitars and it is in these models that the new design really proves itself. The Artist Series luthiers choose from the very best of a stockpile that includes over a hundred thousand, luthier-grade, solid cedar and spruce boards.

In fact, all of the tone woods for the Artist Series are hand-selected to ensure that the very highest standards are met. The scalloped bracing is designed to such precise tolerances that it requires a CNC milling machine to carve the individual pieces to the exact specifications. The finished instruments speak with incredible clarity and character—and that’s before they open up!

These guitars develop an even deeper character when ‘played-in’ and will no doubt become lifelong companions to those who choose them.

More About Seagull Guitars

The Seagull story wouldn't be complete without mentioning La Patrie. La Patrie is a small village in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. This is where the first Seagulls were made in the early eighties. Today, La Patrie has a population of about 475 and about half of these people are guitar builders. These folks take a great deal of pride in the guitars they build.
