Seagull

This 6-string will be a welcome member for your musical entourage.

The Seagull Entourage Rustic guitar offers an exceptional value for players of all levels. This finely crafted Canadian-made acoustic-electric guitar features select pressure-tested solid cedar tops, wild cherry back and sides, cream double binding and a rustic burst custom polished finish. Also, the Seagull guitar features a slim neck with a 1.72" nut width, which is great for players who are more accustomed to a more traditional nut width.

Once again the Seagull Entourage Rustic series brings incredible value to players looking for undeniable sound and craftsmanship in an acoustic guitar. The Entourage CW QIT comes with onboard Quantum I electronics with a built-in tuner and the added feature of a cutaway in the body for easy access to the upper frets on the neck. The Seagull acoustic guitar also includes the beautiful rustic burst custom polished finish, cream double binding, and select pressure tested solid cedar top.

Godin QI electronics
The Godin EPM Quantum acoustic guitar system is simple in design and outstanding in performance. This single source system features an exceptionally responsive saddle transducer carefully matched to side mount electronics with rotary volume, bass, and treble controls.

In combination with the transducer, the EQ control range and frequency content have been specifically contoured to provide a very rich and full sound reproduction resulting in performance seen only in far more complex systems. The Godin QI also includes a built-in high quality digital chromatic tuner with LED display.

| Review By: Jared Wiebelhaus | 6 days, 16 hours ago

0 people out of 0 found this review helpful

Features:

Not a whole lot of features to talk about. Of course that's not a bad thing. Has a basic treble/bass adjustment option and volume knob along with a built in tuner that I've used with no issues. One feature of note is that the 1.72 neck is a little wider than standard, although still thinner than some such as the S6 Original with the 1.8 nut. I have smaller hands but I like it because it really gives room for fingerpicking while not getting so wide as to rival classical guitars. A very nice compromise.

Quality:

This really is a gorgeous guitar. I thought the pictures looked good but they really don't do it justice. The craftsmanship is excellent. Right out of the box the setup is pretty good, which is what I would expect from Godin. I'll still have my local music shop give it a few adjustments but factory set ups really don't get any better than this.

Value:

For the price this is a fantastic value.  This is one of those great guitars that compares very favorably with much more expensive models. Playing this next to many higher priced guitars I definitely preferred the seagull.

Overall:

I play a very wide variety of styles. Fingerpicking, very aggressive strumming, rock, blues, etc. This guitar works well for all of them. The cedar and cherrywood combo gives it a very rich and mellow tone. Sometimes it feels a little mushy when I'm really banging, but this is mostly a technique issue. Volume has never been a problem.

 

It is a little bit more prone to feedback on high bass settings than other guitars. Then again I played it through a PA system with the volume knob about 3/4 of the way up right next to my friend's bass amp on full blast and it was fine so this is only a minor knock. The sound through the pickup is excellent by the way and captures that rich rustic tone that makes this guitar so much fun to play.

Features:

all the features you need, bass,treble, tuner, and volume   

Quality:

great quality, i beat mine up alot and its still awesome, cedar is a little softer than most woods so the pickguard is a must, i play pretty rough sometimes so mine is starting to get some picking scratches, or as i call it, character!

Value:

For the price you will not find a better acoustic, im a big monte montgomery fan and it can get those tones easily, very bright, punchy and warm, best way i can describe the sound, even through a PA you can plug it strait in and it bangs!

Overall:

this guitar has it all, good looks, awesome sound, for strummers or lead players(i play alot of leads on it and throw on a tube screamer for added punch, sounds amazing with that..) ANOTHER thing about this guitar that i didnt see on any of the other reviews(only read like 2 but..) the action of it is about as good as you will get on an acoustic, and i tried at least 10 guitars before i bought this one, very low action makes it VERY easy to play, fast, most martins and gibsons dont have this good of action, so if youre worried about that you dont have to. (FYI the action is as good as my tele..) I ALWAYS hand it to guys with 2K dollar guitars and such and they usually say Dang, this is better action than mine!

They Don't Get Better Than This!

| Review By: Zachary Burditt | 2 months, 2 weeks ago

2 people out of 2 found this review helpful

Features:

When I think of features on an acoustic-eletric guitar I think of tuners, pickups, electronics. The pickups are incredible! The sound is literally "rustic" and pure. I get no feedback or strange sounds. It's got an awesome chromatic tuner on it that is convienient when learning notes so you can find what note is where on the guitar. The tuners are top notch. I took "Grace" (my guitar) on a 10 hour roadtrip in the back of a friends truck in a hard case and was surprised to find it still in tune when I took her out. Especially in 103 degree weather. Another nice thing is that the Godin electronics are a high quality brass that complements the wood on the guitar. It's not huge and obtrusive or cheap like what you find on Ibanez acoustics.

Quality:

What can I say? This guitar is perfect. The craftsmanship is superb. Silver-Leaf Maple Neck, Wild Canadian Cherry sides, cedar top, rosewood fingerboard. This guitar is a work of art. Just running you hand along the sides and top of the guitar scream beauty and craftsmanship. After a setup, the action on this thing is LOW. Really low! Lower than my strat with no rattling, intonation is perfect. The tuners are tight, they don't wobble or go out of tune. The bridge, the nut, pegs, are all high quality as far as those parts go (since they're plastic). The kind of quality I see in this guitar is something I would expect out of a $1200 guitar. To top it all off, it has the sweet smell of cedar!

Value:

Let's put it this way. After having this guitar 10 months, I've fallen in love with it. I've gone through 2 9 volt batteries. Each one having a 200 hour lifespan. That's not including the time I'm not plugged in or using the tuner. I paid this amazing price for this guitar. And if I had to buy it again I would pay any price for it. I don't care if it's $1500. So basically, you are doing yourself an injustice if you don't buy this guitar. It's unrivaled as far as value. I've played guitar a long time and few guitars have held a candle to this thing. And those that have were $1500+ Taylors and Martins.

Overall:

In my 9 years of playing. This is my favorite guitar out of any that I have ever played, including electrics, acoustics, and whatever. At first I didn't like the way it looked, but the sound was heavenly. It's very bright and sweet with a velvety smooth tone. I bought it for that. But it has it's own personality that grows on you. The headstock looks silly to most at first, but as you play it more and more it becomes iconic. Most people would see someone playing guitar and not remember it. But anyone that here's the sound of this thing becomes captivated and the associate the look of it with the sound making it memorable. It's got a personality that grows on you. It's not flamboyant with elaborate laquer or paint. It's just real, it's humble, and proves itself everytime.

 

I will never buy another acoustic the rest of my life unless something disastrous happens to this guitar. It's become a lifelong partner, it's traveled with me from every part of Texas from South Padre Island, the rising plateaus of Palo Duro, the hillcountry of central Texas, east, west, south, mountains, and lakes. I drag it everywhere I go because it's sound is beautiful and it feels like it is one with your soul when you play it.

 

It's amazing to think that this is one of the lower end Seagull guitars. I've never played any above $800 and I shudder to think that some of the higer end seagulls could possibly sound any better than this. So if I ever have to buy another acoustic then money is no issue, I will go to Seagull first.

Need I say more? This guitar filled every void my previous acoustics could not fulfill. I went to a local music store, and tried out just about all the acoustics in that room, including Gibsons, and nothing even came close to this Seagull. Besides its aesthetic perfection, and most importantly, it's sound is second to none. Use a humidifier and the sweet smell of cedar will never subside.

Great Guitar! Love the Tuner!

Overall:

I bought this as my first six-string guitar, Ive been playing bass for two years and wanted to mix it up. I played my friends seagull it sounded great. Another thing in what i was looking for in an acoustic guitar was wide string spacing i'm 6'5'' and have really big hands so i wanted to be able to have decent string spacing which was great. The thing i love most besides the overall sound of the guitar and the ability to play it through an amp, is the tuner. The tuner is awesome it's chromatic so you can tune a string any note you want, and also so you don't have to bring one every where you want to play, it's right there on your guitar, (it comes with a energizer 9v battery already installed).
