Features
In addition to its incredibly accessible slim neck, the Seagull Original S6 left-hand guitar has a gorgeous, solid red cedar top as a well as a "country living" burst finish. This dreadnaught features the color of honey in the burst's center and the color of chocolate out at the edges. Seagull luthiers have done here what they always do, which is to use wood that is thin enough to facilitate slow wood aging, meaning that the guitar's tone will deepen and become more powerful and crisper over time.

*Fingerboard and bridge are rosewood
*Acceptable string gauges: .012,.016,.024 (wound),.032 (wound),.042 (wound),.053 (wound)
Benefits
The Seagull Original S6 left-handed guitar always sounds rich and full even if you pick or strum it softly.

While some players have found that some of the dynamics can get lost when the instrument is played above the 5th fret, all in all this is still a top left-hand guitar to buy for the price.
If you play this guitar out among other people, you are sure to impress them just with the instrument's beauty. Even though it's a budget guitar, this instrument has been crafted with exquisite attention to detail, right down to the Seagull logo being on the back of each machine head.
