Seagull Releases S6 Original Counterpart with New Slim Neck

Press release
Source: Seagull Guitars

Most of us think we could all use a slightly slimmer, trimmer version of ourselves (especially after the holiday season comes and goes). However, does this also translate to your acoustic guitar?.....Sure! Why not!!

Godin Guitars, the Canadian manufacturers 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!

Introducing the New S6 Original Slim featuring (you guessed it) a comfortable, slimmer than traditional 1.72" 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 Original....available in both regular and diet!!!
