Product Description

The Cedar Dreadnought That Makes You Want To Write Songs

The Seagull S6 Original has been a go-to singer-songwriter workhorse for years, and this one shows exactly why. Solid cedar, wild cherry, and smart Canadian craftsmanship come together in a guitar that feels inspiring the second that first chord blooms.

It has that warm, open voice you want from cedar, but with a crisp midrange and tight low end that keeps your strumming from getting muddy. Real talk, if you have been fighting a dead, boxy beginner acoustic, this will feel like somebody finally took the blanket off your sound.

Solid Cedar Top With Wild Cherry Punch

The pressure tested solid cedar top is the heart of this guitar. Cedar responds quickly to a light touch, so fingerpicked lines speak with clarity and warmth, and strummed chords have a sweet, musical bloom instead of harsh zing.

Wild cherry back and sides add focus and definition. That combo gives you a crisp midrange and tight bottom end, so your rhythm parts sit in the mix without getting boomy, and your vocal has plenty of space on top.

Lightweight Dreadnought That Feels Alive

At around 4.6 pounds, this S6 feels noticeably lighter and more resonant than a lot of big box dreadnoughts. It is the kind of guitar you can play for a three-hour set without your shoulder complaining.

The dreadnought body still delivers the fullness and projection you need for solo gigs, campfire hangs, and coffeehouse shows. Strum it hard and it has plenty of cut and punch. Back off and it stays responsive and musical at lower volumes.

Silver Leaf Maple Neck Built For The Long Haul

The silver leaf maple neck gives you a rock-solid, stable feel that holds up to weather changes and regular gigging. It feels smooth and confident under your hand, so you can focus on the song instead of fighting the neck.

The slightly wider nut width gives your fretting hand a little extra room for fingerstyle, clean chord voicings, and all those singer-songwriter shapes that need clarity between notes. It is a very forgiving neck for developing players and a comfortable one for seasoned hands.

Flagship Seagull Tone Without The Flagship Price

This is the flagship of the Seagull lineup for a reason. You are getting a solid-top, North American-built instrument with real tonewood character at a price that usually buys you laminate and compromise.

Whether this is your first serious acoustic or a reliable writing and gigging companion, the S6 Original hits that sweet spot of performance, build quality, and value. It punches way above its price in tone, feel, and reliability.

Dialed In At Moore Guitars

When you grab this S6 from us, you are not just getting a box off a warehouse shelf. Every guitar gets a full Player-Perfect setup, a detailed inspection when it arrives, and another careful check before we pack it up for you.

You are getting free pro setup, free 2-3 day shipping, trade-in options, and real players on the other end of the phone if you want to talk through string gauges, action, or how this stacks up against other acoustics you are considering.

And yes, the photos you see are of the actual guitar with serial 18490 (Moore Guitars ID 489). There is only one like it in our shop right now, sitting in Evansville and ready to ship.

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

Most acoustics in this price range are laminate and sound a bit stiff or boxy. The S6 Original gives you a pressure tested solid cedar top and wild cherry back and sides, so it feels more open, responsive, and alive. Chords bloom instead of thudding out, fingerstyle lines have warmth and detail, and the guitar will actually keep opening up the more you play it. It is a serious step up from entry-level without jumping into boutique pricing.
Absolutely. The cedar top is very touch-sensitive, so fingerstyle parts come through with warmth and nuance. At the same time, the dreadnought body and wild cherry back and sides give you enough punch and projection for big open chord strumming. If your set bounces between gentle verses and big choruses, this guitar keeps up without feeling like a compromise in either direction.
This particular S6 Original is a pure acoustic with no built-in electronics. A lot of players actually prefer that for maximum acoustic resonance and cleaner top vibration. If you need to plug in, you can add a soundhole pickup or outboard system, or give us a call and we can walk you through factory-equipped acoustic-electric options that keep the same kind of feel and tone.
Yes. The photos on this page are of the actual Seagull S6 Original with serial 18490 (our internal ID 489). We shoot each guitar individually so you know exactly what top grain, back, and overall look you are getting. There is only one in stock, so the guitar you see is the guitar you will pull out of the case.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
