Set Sail for Spectacular Sound
It can be tough to find the acoustic-electric guitar that's just right for you, but Sweetwater guitarists concur that Seagull’s Maritime SWS Concert Hall Cutaway should be at the top of your list. Live or unplugged, it masterfully blends natural projection with a great sonic profile; the solid spruce top, along with mahogany back and sides, produce rich, resonant sounds faithfully captured by the onboard Presys II electronics. A matching mahogany neck and richlite fingerboard boast a 16-inch radius, delivering comfort without sacrificing character. An eloquent, ebony bridge and a 1.72-inch nut ensure stable, solid tones at any volume, in the studio or up onstage.
Powerful projection, live or unplugged
Solid spruce tops this concert hall acoustic-electric, blending a stiff makeup with a light weight, conducive to high-velocity playing and providing a forceful tone with plenty of headroom. Mahogany adorns the back and sides, known for its organic, thick midrange and blooming overtones. Its use in the neck produces a dynamic but balanced tone, with solid articulation and glistening harmonics. You’ll find Richlite in the fingerboard — a durable, sustainable material developed from resin-infused paper that is tonally similar to ebony, with full Forest Stewardship Council certification.
Unintrusive Fishman technology
To faithfully capture your performance, Seagull paired this Maritime acoustic-electric with Fishman’s Presys II pickup system. This 2-band EQ includes dedicated bass and treble controls, alongside a phase option, onboard tuner, and convenient display. Fishman’s pre-wired Sonicore pickup is reliable, out of the way, and perfect for live performances.
Precisely designed for performance
The mahogany neck is finished to match the back and sides, sitting solidly in your hands with comfortable, accommodating shaping that does well with players who like to rest their thumbs to the side. You’ll find great access to all 21 frets, thanks to the generous cutaway shaping. A 1.72-inch nut works in concert with the deliberately tilted headstock design to optimize tone and timbre while balancing string tension, all across the 16-inch radius Richlite fingerboard.
