Canada's secret weapon in the guitar price wars? Ben Morgan-Brown flies a Seagull. Be sure to plug in a good set of headphones for the best experience.
My Pop took me too Guitar Center today, (I haven’t gotten a new guitar since 2009) so I was due for an upgrade the first guitar I picked up was this Seagull. I felt instant love for it, but I wanted to try other guitars. (Ofc I loved messing around with the Taylors but waaay out of my Price Range). I spent 4 hours in the store and tried atleaast 10 guitars. Out of all of them I kept coming back to this Seagull. It was meant to be so, as a Birthday Gift I finally have a really beautifully crafted guitar, I got back from work today at 10PM and now as I’m typing this I still have it strapped around me haha. I love this guitar and it’s sound I’m was very satisfied with this gift and I’ll forever cherish it for years to come.
I would love to see you review the updated Seagull S6 Original guitar, which now has the longer scale length of 25.5” Thank you for making these videos!!!!
Excellent review. I’m especially glad that you mentioned the scale length and resulting playability. I have old-man pains in my fretting hand and have gotten rid of two Taylors as a result. My 20+-year-old S6 fit me perfectly but my daughter just had to have it. And now, wouldn’t you know, Godin is making fewer short-scale Seagulls when it used to be their standard. I have no idea why, other than to punish my playing style.
6:20 that is NOT a low action, you could drive a truck under those strings ! These guitars can be adjusted to have a super low action without buzzing or loss of sustain.
It’s hard to tell from the angle they’re recording that from. It certainly FEELS like a low action when you play it. Very easy on the fingers. Playing one improved my fluidity and quickness. I don’t think I ever played a guitar that made me sound so good.
@@wellesradio In general I play Godin on stage, but have an old Seagull too. I was able to lower the action on mine massively without buzzing or loss of tone etc. To have the action so high is bad for your playing and all the tiny muscles in your hands. Almost all professional players wont settle for high action on acoustics long term. I personally don't know any working musician who prefers playing / gigging with an uncomfortable high action. My comment was just to draw attention to the discrepancy between what you can do to lower the action and playability on Seagull guitars and the height of the strings shown here. Seagull guitars can be setup to play like $4000 + instruments. ( in my experience )
Just ordered this guitar, was thinking about ordering epiphone masterbilt, but I found this well balanced and have a nice tone, a mix between bigson and taylor
I own a 2011 Seagull Entourage Rustic with the wild cherry back and sides, and a solid cedar top. Great guitar, but the Autumn burst you are playing also sounds very nice with the spruce top. Good demo!!! Have you tried their cedar topped guitars?
Hello, there. Was looking for the Coastline S6 spruce but apparently it's been discontinued. Anyone owning this same entourage being demoed- how's the build quality?
Wow you've done this before, lol seriously though good job! The S6 line is what I am looking at in my price point $399. although an Epiphone Masterbuilt DR400 for the same price and it being all solid wood is a possibility , I too love that headstock. Anyways thanks David
I love Seagull Guitars! I use to have a Seagull 12 string years ago until someone dropped an amp on it. Now I have a Seagull Entourage Black CW GT QI... awesome cedar tone.
First of all thanks for the video, as a completely novice I do have an open question for all who could help me. I heard good things about seagull s6 original but didn’t see any others listed on recommend list. Shoud i go with seagull s6 original Qit /or/ I should go with seagull entrouge autumn burst CW QIT?
The s6 is the most famous Seagull, the Entourage is less known. From what I hear is that the s6 is has a better sound for chords and the Entourage has a better sound for fingerstyle but that is personal opinion ofcourse! If you have the possibility it's best to hold and try them both. You will probably click with one of the two more. The big difference in playability is the neck for the Entourage's neck is much more narrow than the thick s6 neck. If you like the s6 more but prefer a more narrow neck you can always go with the s6 slim. But remember whatever choice you make, you can't go wrong with a Seagull.
Really great sounding instrument but this review has failed to comment on the real life problems with this specific model. For sure it sounds really good but ... I bought this guitar for my teenage daughter but we ran into serious quality control issues with it. The Silver leaf Maple neck is so soft that a Capo cannot be used without denting the neck. The wood is as soft as butter, the lacquer stared peeling off immediately. This instrument will not be able to survive playing conditions for more than a year before disintegrating.
I've had a Seagull S6 CW for 20 years, no capo problems at all. The neck stain is wearing off a bit but that's all. The cedar top is a bit soft (good tone) but easily dented
One of the most thorough reviews I've seen for any guitar. I really appreciate the detail.
BMB always does a great job on his reviews. Well spoken and informative.
I'm sold. Gorgeous finish. Check. Beautiful sound. Check. Low string break angle at the nut. Check. Made in my home country. Check.

MultiAnimeShows Network hi as an adult beginner I am confused between this and Seagull S6 original. Which should I buy?

I own this in the cw beautiful tool. I swear Autumn has her own soul.
I own one too and your right Autumn has it's own soul. I love my Segull .
What strings do you guys recommend?
Just ordered this guitar, was thinking about ordering epiphone masterbilt, but I found this well balanced and have a nice tone, a mix between bigson and taylor
6:20 that doesn't look low?
Wow, this was a fantastic review!

Beautiful guitar, well playing. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for sharing I'm thinking very seriously about buying a seagull.🇺🇸
Really well done review!
Hello, there. Was looking for the Coastline S6 spruce but apparently it's been discontinued. Anyone owning this same entourage being demoed- how's the build quality?
Excellant review.
Own a 12 string art and lutherie same company amazing guitars
No, different company and different locations. Godin just owns em both and 3 others.
I bought a used Art & Lutherie Legacy CW Q1T, a fun guitar to play. And the reviewer is right, the tuner is not very accurate, useful though.
Quality for price, Seagull and Godin are unmatched.
Wow you've done this before, lol seriously though good job! The S6 line is what I am looking at in my price point $399. although an Epiphone Masterbuilt DR400 for the same price and it being all solid wood is a possibility , I too love that headstock. Anyways thanks David

how do these guitars sound "unplugged" is the sound loud enough and does it maintain the rich sound?
Yes they sound great
how does this guitar compare to the new s6? 50$ usa difference.
I like s6 better, i just feel like this series is just a cheaper s6
First of all thanks for the video, as a completely novice I do have an open question for all who could help me.

I've had mine since 2015 and no problems. Been playing for 35 years and have guitars costing 5 times more, Southern Jumbo for one.
That`s the action you get on a kids toy guitar? wow
Really? Wow.
