Seagul S6 Acoustic Guitar Review

Seagul may not be the first brand of guitar that people recognize but they make great acoustic guitars, which is all that really matters, and I've read several claims that this is one of the best acoustic guitars for any beginner. Is that true though.

The Seagul S6 features a solid top with wild cherry back and sides, a rosewood fingerboard and bridge, tusq nut and compensated saddle. It comes in a semi-gloss lacquer finish.

As a guitar that is rated one of the best acoustic guitars for beginners you would expect a great sound and the Seagul S6 doesn't disappoint. The guitar produces a mellow, warm sound that for the price is astonishingly good, even bettering that of many top end guitars. It doesn't quite match the top Taylor or Martin guitars but for the price it does come staggeringly close.

Looks is where the Seagul S6 is slightly let down as it is far from the prettiest of acoustic guitars you will come across. That said it is built to last and if your a beginner that wants to avoid having to upgrade in a years time then the S6 is a great choice.

Summary - If your more interested in looks than quality then the Seagul S6 isn't for but otherwise I highly recommend it. The Washburn D10S ( read review here ) may be a little cheaper and more popular but for that little bit extra I think the Seagul S6 is the better acoustic guitar for a beginner.
