S6 Performance and Specs with a Conventional Neck Feel
The Seagull S6 Original SLIM offers top-notch Seagull craftsmanship and specs at an attractive price. The S6 SLIM headstock nut is slightly shorter than the original Seagull S6 which means tighter string spacing and a more conventional neck feel. Otherwise, the S6 SLIM delivers the same quality performance and build you’ll find on every Seagull guitar. The S6's modified dreadnought body shape packs all the projection and sustain of an iconic dreadnought but without any low-end thud that’s unpleasant on the ears. The S6 SLIM is a naturally musical guitar that works with your playing — not against it. Also onboard is premium TUSQ hardware, a powerful Fishman Presys II amplification system, a pressure-tested cedar top, and 3-layer wild cherry back and sides. The sum of all these parts come together perfectly for a balanced modern sound that's familiar from the first strum.
Built for value and tone
Sweetwater acoustic enthusiasts prize Seagull Guitars for their unique voice and bold functional aesthetics, and the Seagull S6 SLIM is no exception. The S6 SLIM's top is made from time-honored and pressure-tested cedar, a reliable pick with light overall weight and a powerful vibrational capacity. Wild cherry laminate composes the back and sides; the lovely voice of this underutilized tonewood mirrors mahogany and maple's best traits without an inflated price tag. Seagull’s signature “D” profile delivers a hearty playing feel across an integrated set maple neck, and there's plenty of anchor space up for exploring the rosewood fingerboard’s 21 frets in depth. The S6 SLIM also of course features a signature Seagull tapered headstock. This headstock isn't just a branding choice. It also improves string response and tuning stability and is especially handy for players who like to drop their strings down low for alternate tunings.
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.
Seagull Guitars: handcrafted in Canada for more than a quarter century
For over 25 years, all Seagull guitars — from the S6 Original models to the Maritime models to the top-of-the-line Artist series instruments — have been handcrafted in a small village in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. About half of the population of the town works at the Seagull factory using locally sourced woods to create these exquisite guitars. You’ll love the attention to detail, the quality tonewoods, and Seagull’s commitment to making the best guitar possible. Grab a Seagull S6 Original SLIM and experience the difference.
