  • Seagull C6

    From Cloud Hobbit@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jul 20 12:44:03 2021
    Got this guitar recently and love the sound.
    Spruce top.

    Paid $275.00 which from what I've seen is a decent
    price.

    The sides and back appear to have a satin finish.
    Not shiny as I'm used to seeing.
    Since I've never seen one of these
    Guitars before, I'm just wondering if
    this is the normal finish.

    If it's supposed to be glossy, I'd like to get
    it that way again.

    Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    Sounds so much better than the 50 year l
    old Yamaha FG150 I used to have.

    I am sometimes suffering from long
    term loss of short term memory.
    That explains why I said this guitar is a
    C6 instead of an S6+Spruce.
    That's what it says on the inside label.

    Apologies.

    Seagull is made by Godin Guitars < Robert Godin >

    https://godinguitars.com/about

    Godin's other acoustic brand names are Norman, Simon & Patrick,
    Art & Luthier. Many models in each brand.
    La Patrie was the nylon string model.

    I have a satin finish Norman < mahogany - cedar > and
    a gloss finish Simon & Patrick < rosewood - spruce > and
    can't say I have a preference of finish ..
    If nobody here has any advice - you could try contacting
    the company.

    Thanks for the prompt reply.
    I think I am content with this instrument.
    Just wanted to know if it needed a good cleaning.
    Can't recall ever seeing anything but gloss
    finishing on guitars, but then I haven't been
    paying that much attention. My wife surprised
    me with it for Father's Day. I may yet
    be able to play a F chord and some Barre
    Chords be as well as something I could
    Never achieve with the old one.

    Thanks again.
