The Seagull S6+ GT QII is a new model inspired by the idea of combining three new things that Seagull is particularly excited about. New gloss-top finish, new Quantum II electronics, and the revolutionary Fort EPP case.
The gloss-top finish of S6 Plus is made with genuine lacquer and it's about the same thickness as the semi-gloss finish but buffed to a high luster. This is truly a great breakthrough in that the guitar has the added responsiveness provided by an extra light finish along with the great looks of high-gloss.
The Quantum II electronics are a standard feature in the S6+. This is a truly spectacular dual source system. The under-saddle pickup can be used on its own with excellent results in high volume situations or can be mixed with the signal from the internal microphone for more critical listening situations such as recording. This system won unanimous raves in multiple blind listening tests that Seagull conducted.
The Fort EPP case provides the best possible protection for the S6+ GT QII and weighs in just slightly heavier than a nylon gig bag.
In 1982 Robert Godin and a few friends produced the first Seagull guitars in the Village of LaPatrie, Quebec. The concept for the Seagull guitar was to take the essential components of the best hand-crafted guitars (such as solid tops and lacquer finishes) and build these features into guitars that could be priced within the reach of working musicians.
People often asked about the difference between a cedar or spruce top. Both Cedar and Spruce share the same virtues in terms of better sound and the ability to age. In the end, this is a totally subjective question that can only be answered by playing the guitars.
All Seagull guitars are made with solid tops. Each solid top is made from a single layer of Spruce or Cedar. This extraordinary wood comes from trees that are hundreds of years old. The tight, straight grain in this wood produces a unique combination of strength and flexibility. The top is strong enough--in the direction of the grain--to withstand the pull of the strings, while at the same time it's flexible enough--across the grain--to vibrate freely.
