Soar with Incredible Playability and Tone

The S6 Classic from Seagull is the ideal acoustic-electric guitar if you've got an eye for undeniable quality and craftsmanship, but don't want to break the bank. The S6 delivers detailed sound with rich overtones and amazing natural projection and sustain. A solid cedar top paired with wild cherry back and sides makes for a tonewood combination that bursts with punchy treble, meaty midrange, and robust low end. And when it's time to hit the stage, the S6 Classic's Fishman Sonitone preamp system ensures a stellar plugged-in performance. Featuring Seagull's integrated set neck and compound-curved top, the Seagull Guitars S6 Classic acoustic-electric guitar also provides you with remarkable tuning stability, resonance, and volume.

Innovative neck construction and mounting

The attention and care given to each Seagull instrument shows in their stunning visuals, playability, and tone. The company has also taken extra care to ensure that the S6 Classic acoustic-electric guitar's neck helps facilitate an amazing guitar experience. An acoustic guitar's neck is more than just a fretboard used for playing; it also creates the guitar's tone. Seagull's Integrated Set Neck gives your guitar the sound you want and the stability you need in a performing guitar. This system provides stable and consistent action that also reduces warping and twisting. Thanks to this integrated system, the S6 Classic's neck pitch is perfectly set.

Seagull's quest for tone gives you a better playing and sounding guitar

Robert Godin, owner of Seagull Guitars, has never been satisfied with the phrase "good enough." His tireless search for the better guitar has resulted in multiple innovations that go into every guitar model that Seagull makes. Every S6 Classic acoustic-electric guitar's top is pressure tested for rigidity and stiffness to ensure maximum harmonic vibration. The unique compound-curved top adds structural integrity to the guitar and allows for thinner bracing. Take it from the crew at Sweetwater: the Seagull S6 Classic will give you years of enjoyment and great performance.

Fishman Sonitone electronics

A preinstalled Fishman Sonitone pickup system gives the S6 stellar plugged-in tone. Whether you're playing live or recording at home, you'll love how the Fishman Sonitone picks up every nuance of your performance. Plus, its soundhole-mounted controls make changing the volume on the fly a breeze.

  • Pressure-tested solid cedar top offers superior tone, projection, and response
  • Wild cherry back and sides deliver a detailed tone between warm mahogany and bright maple

Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

See how Sweetwater goes to great lengths to give you the very best online guitar buying experience.

What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Reviews

Sweet Seagull S6!
This guitar is fantastic right out of the box! As usual Sweetwater sent me pristine guitar and it sounds as good as it looks. I saw this guitar at another online store a little cheaper...but I don't mind paying a little extra for the Sweetwater 'white glove' treatment. I barely had to tune it! Smooth as butter! Thanks!!!
Love!
My first Seagull- but own a La Patrie and my Dad has two Seagulls- so I'm familiar with the amazing quality for the price point. This guitar sounds awesome and plays like butter right out of the box! Absolutely thrilled with my new guitar! Thanks Riley for the awesome customer service as always!
Big beautiful sound!
The looks and big sound of this guitar is amazing! Love it! I like that it doesn't have an eq on the guitar. I use a Fishman amp and it took 3 seconds to a big beautiful sound. And it's so easy to play. I was having fun time playing Rockabilly on this baby! Then switched gears and played the most beautiful Jazz ballad. You better get one..
Music background: Been playing all styles since 1975
I love mine
I purchased a Black Seagull S6 a few years ago when the color came out. I love playing it, it is my main accoustic guitar. It played great for me right out of the box. It looks really cool to me and sounds great. I use the Martin Retro strings with it. It is the first and last thing I do in my day and it is a joy in my life.
Music background: Amateur musician, guitar player and singer.
