I've had the Seagull S6 Burst Q1 for a few weeks now and it's a beauty of a guitar. I received it in perfect condition from Amazon, not a ding to be found, and the action was set up quite nicely out of the box. The onboard electronics, though simple and somewhat limited in terms of control, sound really nice to me. However, I play the guitar through a Fender electric amp (Blues Jr.) so I may not be as qualified a judge of sound as someone with a dedicated acoustic set-up.

The guitar sounds fantastic acoustically as well. The cedar produces a nice warm sound, and though not as loud or "boomy" as a spruce top, there is a fullness of tone to this guitar that I have rarely (if ever) found in the sub $1000 price range. It plays well and I haven't had any issues with the tuners. The onboard electronic tuner is accurate and easy to use.

It's worth mentioning that the guitar I received from Amazon looks QUITE different from the photo pictured. The pickguard is tortoise (not black) and the wood burst is more of a brown/light brown color rather than the black/orange stock photo. I'm not sure if there's just a lot of variance with how these models look or if Amazon (and every other online seller of this guitar) has an outdated picture. I'll post some photos of my guitar on Amazon when I get the chance.

Overall, I'm extremely pleased with the guitar. For the price I paid I feel like I got an amazing deal, but it doesn't do the guitar justice to say that it's a great guitar "for the money." It's a great guitar, period.

I ordered this guitar and have had to return 3 different guitars all because they showed up damaged! Amazon is hopefully addressing their shipping methods, because it's a shame to lose 3 of these otherwise awesome instruments to bad packaging/storage. That said I still give them 4 stars because they are the BEST guitar you can get for the money. I played everything in stores between 400-800 dollars and the Seagull was the best sounding value hands down. Too bad I still don't have a guitar!

Let me know if you have had a similar experience or a good experience.

This guitar is a fantastic value. It sounds and looks amazing. The build quality is fantastic. Believe everything you read about it! I've used it strictly acoustic so far, so cannot comment on the electronics. But, I use the built-in tuner every day, and it's accurate, convenient and very easy to use.

I had no problems at all with the packaging, as some others have apparently had. It arrived in perfect condition.
