Overview
Strumming at home or plugging into a PA, this Seagull Classic covers both with a cedar top over wild cherry back and sides. A maple neck joins the body with Seagull's integrated set neck, and the Fishman Sonitone preamp sends the signal out a quarter inch jack.
Cedar and cherry give a warm, punchy voice, and the compound-curved top is built for tuning stability and volume. What you do not get is a cutaway, a case or any onboard tuner mention.
Who it's for
Songwriters and campfire players get a traditional full-size body with simple electronics for the occasional gig. Players who live above the twelfth fret should look for a cutaway design.
Pros and cons
- Cedar top for a warm voice
- Fishman Sonitone electronics built in
- Standard quarter inch output jack
- Compound-curved top for tuning stability
- No case or gig bag listed
- Nut width not listed
- Heavier than many acoustics at the listed weight
Performance notes
A cedar top responds quickly to a light touch, which helps fingerstyle and soft strumming bloom. Cherry back and sides add midrange, and the plugged-in sound comes from the Sonitone system with its own simple controls.
