Guitar Cases Well, after reading all of you guys' reviews, I'm absolutely sold on the Seagull S6 Original Acoustic Guitar! It has been on my "Wish List" forever. I have always wanted a "James Taylor Sounding" guitar though, and I wonder if any of you more highly trained guitarist would have an opinion on how the Seagull S6 compares. I don't want to waste anymore money (i.e. as a beginner, and I really mean BEGINNER, I've purchased some real lemons and wasted a lot of money). Also, this may be a REALLY dumb question, but can anyone recommend a good case for the Seagull S6? Thanks in advance for your advice.

Around the same price range...(*and note that tone is purely subjective - best thing to do is play as many as possible and find one that sounds good to you) I like the Eastman E6D and also the Seagull Coastline Series.

Seagull makes a nice case for is guitar. It is called a TRIC case. Looks like it is made of some form of styrofoam only tougher. Keeps the guitar a more constant temperature. I really like mine alot more than most hard cases. Fits tight, and you can knock it over and not worry as much about possible damage to the guitar. As for it sounding like a guitar that James Taylor plays I would say no. His guitars are custom built Olson guitars that cost thousands of dollars. That being said the S6 is a great sounding guitar that plays much better than most others in the price range. I cant think of a guitar in the price range or even somewhat higher that compares.

Seagull S6 Original Acoustic GuitarCome on guys--help me out here, pleaseeeeeeee? What is the item number for a hard, durable and well-fitting case for this guitar? I thought somebody would have responded by now. :-(

Its a standard dreadnought body. The cases I use are the Guardian CG-020-D for a classic hard case, a Gator Molded Hardcase (Dreadnought). Alpine makes a nice gig bag that I used for years. Seagull makes one too.

I just bought this case (I know this question is old, posting anyway for future readers!), and it fits like a glove and is SUPER solid! TKL 7815 Dreadnought Case For reference in case the link no longer works, it's the TKL 7815 Dreadnought Case, and it was $121 when I bought it in early 2015. I like it both for the security when I'm toting my guitar in the back end of the car or wherever, but also because I can keep the guitar humidified more easily when I store in the case than out of it.

More than likely any Dreadnaught case should work. Mine is not a cut-away, and I'm actually using an old hard case that came with my Ibanez years and years ago. If you're trying to buy one online, take the s6 with you to a local guitar shop, find a few that work, write their names down, return home and type away. Good luck.

The "Seagull S6 Original" has a slightly larger nut width than your typical guitar "approximately 1/8 of an inch wider at the top of the neck near the tuners" which makes this guitar great for players with large hands and people that play finger style. However, many players just prefer this width. It's my opinion that since she is an accomplished piano player with excellent finger dexterity, this guitar will be a very good choice. Please keep in mind that this is a full size dreadnaught body so if she is small in physical size, ANY full size dread could be a problem. Take her to a music store and have her try ANY full size dread just for fit. If you can swing the few extra dollars, go for a Godin Seagull SWS Maritime guitar, http://seagullguitars.com/seagull_maritime_series.html No matter what guitar you go with, keep $40.00 set aside for a guitar action job "setup". Almost ALL new guitars straight off the show room floor have high string action. ALSO, since she should already know music theory, skip paying for guitar lessons and get her "Gibson's Learn and Master Guitar". She should tear through it. Amazon cost is $125 As for the build and material "quality" of the S6, you can't go wrong, she will grow with it for many years.

My tweed (Stagg gcx-wgd) is used for a Taylor Dreadnaught. Mine fits like a glove. This will not fit your concert size guitar perfectly, but still quite suitably. I have used a dreadnaught case similar to this for a concert guitar before and it worked just fine for many years. This is really a good looking case, I think you'll be quite happy with it. At least, I'm very happy with mine. everyone who sees it, remarks about it. I hope this helps you. Good luck and KEEP PLAYING!!!

I keep getting questions from customers wanting to know if it'll fit their particular guitar. I don't know. If they really want to know they should walk into a music store, find a similar guitar case, fit their guitar and decide if they want to buy this case.

Just received a Mandolin A style, I know nothing about them. I am looking for a tuner & maybe a mike for it. ???. I ordered new strings & a strap. Tried tuning from YouTube, not working for me. Got some help from my son, but he is just learning to play the guitar himself. It has a plug, but I just want to learn to play without the acoustic sound. Any advice ??? Thank You Brenda.

YES!!! I love my Taylors but hate the ES and have found this is a FANTASTIC replacement. In fact, the Anthem SL is so minimal I recommend having your luthier just drill a second hole next to the original input jack on the tail block (I can send you a picture if you like). I have done that in several guitars and it's been perfect because it keeps the ES in tact for an emergency situation (I play live frequently) or for cool stereo experimentation. Also, I believe it keeps the resale value in the guitar because 1) some people desire the ES 2) You can always sell it with the Anthem or pull the Anthem out and put a rubber plug on the input hole--no harm done!

Hello! I got Valencia CL-160 couple of months ago. Honestly, I'd rather pay two times more and get a cheaper version of Cordoba or Yamaha. (I have Yamaha 3/4 and it sounds brilliant).The guitar is rough and sound like a piece of wood. Strings are too high and you can't adjust them because there is no key hole. Electronic part is very cheap - the sound is awful. As usual: you're getting what you payed. Sorry for such a negative comment!
1485586
No, i think its a good quality guitar which is easy to play and has a great sound. Also, it will retain its value, so, if for some reason you decide guitar is not for you, it will be a lot easier to sell a Taylor. Good luck, and practice, practice, practice!!!

The Cordoba C3M is a great guitar. I was very surprised when I got mine. It looks much better in person. Though it's a shame I got drunk and broke mine by dropping it.

guitarguy , I recieved my Korean RL-4 late last month . It had inspection tags dated 4/12/2005! Although the Samick box looked like it was accosted by a grizzly bear, the guitar itself was pristine and obviously never handled. Seeing that Amazon has (had?) only one more, I might assume they were from the same batch, although this assumption has no guarantees , of course. If not to your satisfaction (wink, wink), who could fault you for returning a 9 year old guitar . If it's in the same shape as the one I recieved, I'm sure you'll be thrilled !! Be sure to let me know ....

I have been playing one at the local Sam Ash store, and intend to buy one - I love it! (Even with the factory strings everyone complains about ... I'm eager to see how it sounds with fluorocarbon strings.) Anyway, the store model there has no pick guard on it. I understood from the many review I read that it does *not* generally come with the pick guard installed. Personally, I think it looks great without it. I plan to buy one without and keep it that way.

Hi, I can only tell you my experience with the S6 Original, I absolutely love it! I'm a beginner too, female, in my forties. I'm 5'7" and medium build, I would say I have average sized hands. This guitar sounds so amazing, it has such a rich beautiful tone, I never felt like it was too wide or big to comfortably play. Hope this helps.

You're buying a $150 guitar, get regular slinky. They help build up some strength. Only worry about the strings when you have a nicer guitar. T

I got the same guitar and love it. I got the Yamaha HC-AG1 hard case. I'm very happy with it. It seems very tough and the guitar fits very snugly.
