::: I was just wonderin how old my guitar is, the serial is 5043188. If someone could tell me I\'d be a happy camper.>>:: >>Me Too! Does anyone have any idea how old is my Seagull ASE01A model number 4393064? I appreciate your help!:: Darren Since 1996-97, all Seagull guitars have an 8 digit serial number. The first 2 digits indicate the year of manufacture (ex: a guitar with a 98342165 serial number was built in 1998) From 1993-94 to 1996-97, some models had a 7 digit serial number. In those cases, the 1st digit indicates the year it was manufactured (ex: a guitar with a 4351079 was built in 1994) Before 1993, guitars have a 5 or 4 digit serial number, and we have to check on our serial number lists to determine the year it was built.

If you’ve been searching online for a, chances are you’ve run into the Seagull S6 on many “Top 5” lists. It’s definitely not the cheapest beginner guitar on the market, but it certainly deserves a place on all of these lists. And really, who cares about a guitar that makes a “Top 5” list when it’s already won numerous industry awards? Seagull S6 Review There’s nothing truly extraordinary about the Seagull S6 when you first look at it. There’s no fancy inlay, no cutaway and the design is fairly traditional.

So what makes the S6 so special? In a word: quality.

The Seagull Limited Warranty covers your guitar against defects in material and workmanship for as long as you own the guitar, subject to the limitations set forth in the documentation that accompanies your product(s).

I can’t see the quality as much as hear it when I play the guitar. It’s obvious from the tone that a lot of time has been spent crafting a beautiful guitar that fits a market need: a quality guitar within the budget range of many entry-level guitarists. Part of what makes this a quality guitar is the materials Seagull chose to use. Instead of the typical laminate spruce wood tops that you find on most beginner guitars, the Seagull S6 uses a pressure-tested solid cedar top.

It is widely accepted in the guitar-making world that the guitar face is one of the most important factors in creating the tone of a guitar, so this solid wood top is a difference-maker. Seagull used Canadian Wild Cherry for the back and sides of the S6. You don’t find this wood often on a guitar at any price range and it is beautiful in its own right. Pretty much the only “traditional” part of this guitar is the fretboard, which Seagull makes using rosewood – pretty standard with all guitars. Cedar instead of Spruce The thing about using a cedar top instead of the traditional spruce top is that it’s hard to compare apples to apples when searching for a guitar. Cedar has vastly different tonal qualities than spruce and may cause your ear a bit of confusion.

I’ve heard some people talk about how cedar is better for fingerpicking while others claim that the guitar opened up more with strumming. Regardless, there’s only one thing that will truly “open up” the sound of a guitar: age. This is true for any guitar. My point is, don’t expect this guitar to sound like every other beginner acoustic guitarbut take that as a good thing. It may take a little while for your ear to adjust to the sound. But, as every owner can attest to, you will eventually love it. Importance of the Saddle & Nut S6 is the perfect example of how small details – such as an acoustic guitar saddle and nut – can make a huge difference on a guitar.
