Why it matters

The S6 has been Seagull's mainstay for decades and uses a solid cedar top, which is unusual at this price. Sweetwater lists the S6 Cedar Original at $749. It is built in Canada, and the tapered headstock is a Seagull signature.

Note

The best-known Canadian acoustic: solid cedar top, maple neck, tapered headstock.
