I was a subscriber to the magazine for many years. Then I let it lapse recently, as I felt it wasn't worth the $40 for renewal. I am an intermediate hobbyist with a broad range of guitars (Martin,…Continue

I tossed my own $1.37 in on that one, over on that other discussion.
Hope that helps a bit!"
Martin van Dooremalen replied to CaliGull's discussion New S6 Original in the house . . . Long scale not so bad in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"I'd have to agree with you, Greg, on the sound maturation. I've had my Maritime for just 4 months now. It's such a joy to play and while I hadn't noticed the sound change - probably due to me being the one playing it and the…"

(also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"That is really stunning side and back wood grain on your S6 CaliGull, I've never noticed it before on that particular model (shame on me) and will have to check one out closer next time I'm at the guitar store.
Congrats on the Gull again…"
Greg Ballantyne replied to CaliGull's discussion New S6 Original in the house . . . Long scale not so bad in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"That S6 sure looks good. It looks a lot like my NE cedar/cherry guitar. The NE has a maple neck and headstock, and maple binding. I now see that my NE is a long scale guitar. Evidently the difference between long scale and short scale does not…"

Bob Edwards replied to CaliGull's discussion New S6 Original in the house . . . Long scale not so bad in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"I'd bet that most here are Seagull players because of that wide nut (and fingerboard) width.
I'd seen a few Seagulls -- and S&P's, and A&L's -- in the smaller shops, but most were at the lowest-price end of their…"

Evan Vyvyan Hodge said… Thank you! I have been fortunate over the years to own two Seagull parlours, different top woods; an S6 folk; a Simon&Patrick 12-string, and a 6-string all Maple Seagull dreadnought with a pickup. The little ones are the best guitars I ever played. They were older models, one in the humble range, the other an Artist model. To be honest, not that much difference in their sound, both full and carrying, incredible fingerstyle.
They have a voice like nothing else, and over time just become more expressive. Tuned open, another planet of sounds is there to explore. I think those two inspired more growth in my playing skill and level of music theory than any other instrument. I know you won't be dissappointed. They travel easily, on foot or by conveyance. Use a hardcase though. Best wishes, CaliGull. Let me know the music you are playing.

John Culver said… I am soooo stoked to get my Seagull...I've been back and forth tryin' to decide between the S6 Original QI, or the Coastline Cedar GT QI...I think it'll be the latter....bur either way, they're both GREAT guitars from what I hear, and the research I've done!

Antonio Eduardo Rosa said… Hi,
Thanks very much for the add!
It's really a great guitar, the Taylor 314CE.
I'm always surprised on out it responds to any style I try to play on it. Very balanced sound.
Do you still own it?
Antonio
