![]() The bass EQ is quite strong, so use with care, and a little treble reduction tames the new-string brittleness. As is, there's quite a strident tonality and, as we've noted before, a hint of acoustic archtop that perhaps suits rootsier and bluesier styles more than pristine, crystalline modern voicings.Īmplified, the EPM system is nicely voiced. It feels, and sounds, obviously, new and a little tight but should hopefully fill out and mellow a little with playing. What's special about it is quite a unique voice, the combination of those laminated wild cherry back and sides, which, says Godin, has "a sound that lands somewhere between the mellow tone of a mahogany guitar and the bright sound of maple", with the cedar top plus a robust but pretty light build. String spacing at the bridge is 54mm, while the neck shape is fairly full-depthed (20.5mm at the 1st, 24mm at the 9th fret) but with quite tapered shoulders, making your hand believe it's thinner than it really is.Īs befits its size, the S6 dreadnought kicks out some volume played acoustically with quite a boisterous 'hello, I'm here' character. The electronics have been upgraded, too, for this year with a new EPM-designed under-saddle pickup, while the small Q1T side-mounted preamp offers a tuner plus volume, and treble and bass controls, sadly without centre detents. The S6's tuners are new-spec with quite a retro-looking Seagull script logo'd back casing.
