Seagull Performer CW Flame Maple QIT Acoustic Electric Guitar

mic'd only ......

[@SuperPahoo]

This video more than any others on the performer model has helped me to make my choice. Such a robust depth.. even just mic'd, and your style of playing is what I needed to see/hear in order to be able to choose. The 1.8 nut width is what caused me to first come across this gorgeous guitar in my search for my number three, yet first acoustic/electric. If you are able to, can you measure the overall string spacing at the nut and let me know? Thanks, Ben.. great job, btw..

I have this guitar and it is great. Top is solid spruce while the back and sides are 3 layer flame maple laminate. I do not believe there is a better guitar for the money.

Godin glues together three layers of thin solid wood. There is no plywood in their guitars. I have tore a seagull s6 down that had seen it’s days. There was no way to resurrect that guitar. The top was solid Cedar. The back was three layers of solid wood glued together. No plywood between two layers of thin solid wood. Even the great Taylor guitars are not constructed with three layers of Tone wood. Godin makes incredible great guitars for the money.

Yup , I bought a 214 deluxe made in Mexico sent it right back !!!! I prefer the Yamaha A5R for the price and construction

Very good sound for a laminate guitar... the sound is 10x better than Taylor laminate.

[@dylanthomas7443]

Its not a laminate - all Guitars by Godin are solid wood.

[@Denon395]

@@dylanthomas7443 A solid wood guitar is constructed with a solid wood back, sides and top like my Seagull Artist Series. This guitar has a solid top but the back and sides are laminate.

@@dylanthomas7443 that's 100% false. This guitar has laminate back and sides.

[@paulfrantzis1]

@@dylanthomas7443 according to seagulls own website, the sides and back are laminate- that's not to say this guitar doesn't sound good.

[@JoeMerklewriter]

@@paulfrantzis1 On the site now it says solid mahogany back
