Godin Guitars, the Canadian manufacturers of Seagull acoustic guitars, has released the S6 Original Slim after realizing that certain players love the S6 Original but prefer a more traditional feeling nut width.
The S6 Original Slim features a comfortable, slimmer-than-traditional 1.72" nut width. The same nut width as its parlor-sized friend, the Seagull Grand. The Slim's cream binding also helps differentiate this model from its S6 Original counterpart.
The combination of the solid cedar top and wild cherry back & sides gives this guitar a full, warm contoured sound, further accentuated by the comfort of the silver leaf maple neck with rosewood fingerboard and double function truss rod. Another key characteristic to these guitars, as with all Seagull guitars, is the use of genuine lacquer finish, which enables the top to breathe and vibrate freely. This in turn promotes the aging process of the guitar, meaning that your instrument will actually sound better the more it is played over time.
The S6 Original Slim keeps with the same high standards of quality and musicality that have garnered the S6 Original many accolades and awards.
