This review is from: Seagull Coastline S6 Spruce Acoustic Guitar
I just got back from Guitar Center with the S6 acoustic, and I have to say it is an extremely nice guitar. I paid $370 with a case thrown-in to sweeten the deal. Here's my review.
Appearence = (9) Visually, the headstock takes alittle getting used to, and I really like the two-tone difference of the body and neck. I also like the binding around the headstock and outter lining of the body. This guitar looks extremely well put together, and could probably sell for a much higher price.
Sound quality = (9) If you want a big resonating acoustic for under $500.00 this is the guitar for you. Crisp treble and smooth bass are to be expected upon purchase.
I wasn't even looking to buy an acoustic, but I had to have it after I picked up the guitar. Most acoustics sound dull to me, but the S6 projects beautiful tones from it's big-bodied design.
Playability and action = (10) As far as acoustics, this is the first one I have played that really feels...Read more

This review is from: Seagull Coastline S6 Spruce Acoustic Guitar
I bought this guitar a few months ago and it is a regretless buy. I got mine for $419 with a ffree case. The neck is extremly fast and smooth, and the quality and craftsmanship is superb. There is only one problem i ever had though. the strings were pretty high off the fretboard, making barre chords a little difficult. but that was easily and quickly handled by popping out the stock saddle and replaceing it with a lower one. overall this is one of the best guitars i have ever played. it even compares well with a much more expensive Martin d17.
Sound - 5 out of 5
Quality - 5
playability - 4 (only because of the high saddle)

This review is from: Seagull Coastline S6 Spruce Acoustic Guitar
I have been playing my Seagull S6 Spruce for several years now, and have been pleased with the quality of both the sound and the instrument itself. The sound is bright and rich, which you would expect from spruce, but admittedly not as warm and rich as, say, rosewood (which is my personal favorite). I like to use light guage D'Addario phos-bronze strings to liven it up even further. The guitar itself has proved to be quite durable, and the finish is fairly tough. Even after years of less-than-gentle use, mine shows no markings. However, the top of the fretboard does show some noticeable wear, but nothing that affects performance. Overall, I would say that for an amateur musician like myself, this guitar is a hard choice to beat at this range of the price spectrum.
