Seagull Guitars
Seagull Guitars:
Established in 1982 in LaPatrie, Quebec by Robert Godin, Seagull Guitars strives to combine the features of hand-crafted instruments at prices accessible to musicians. Crafted with pride in Canada, these guitars are made using sustainable Canadian wood.
Since 2016, Guitars on Main has proudly partnered with Seagull Guitars, a brand we've grown fond of. Dive into the unique features that distinguish Seagull guitars and solidify the Godin family's reputation for offering unparalleled acoustic guitar value.
Seagull Guitar Highlights:
- Solid Tops: Made from pressure-tested wood, these tops amplify string vibrations, offering a richer sound and enhanced durability.
- Compound Curved Top: This design fortifies the top's structure, allowing thinner bracing and optimizing sound resonance.
- Sitka Spruce Bracing: Custom-sculpted for each top's curve, this bracing provides stability without stifling the top's vibration.
- Cedar or Spruce Tops: While both woods age beautifully, cedar offers a warmer tone, and spruce presents a brighter sound.
- Aging: Playing the guitar improves its resonance over time, known as 'aging'.
- Bookmatched Design: For symmetry and beauty, each top is split and joined like a book's pages.
- Custom Polished Finish: This finish enhances the wood's natural beauty, sound, and aging process.
- Guitar Neck Pitch: The Seagull's neck attachment system ensures the ideal angle for balanced tone and clarity.
- Two-Way Truss Rod: Providing comprehensive neck alignment control.
- Integrated Set Neck: Offers consistent action and stability.
- Compensated Saddle: Ensures accurate intonation.
- The Heel: Reinforced with maple dowels for tuning stability.
- Reverse & Tapered Headstock: Designed for enhanced neck strength and easier tuning.
