It's something in the mids I feel, although it's not a high-end guitar anyway. And I also have a newish Seagull electric acoustic, which has a stiff feeling also. I'd be interested in trying it on that guitar, to see if I could some of the 'stiffness' out of it (for a lack of better word).

I sold it to my father, but he doesn't really have the motivation to play and just gave it to me to keep at my home. It was initially mine, played well but I never bonded with it really. So back in went the Nailbomb, and now it was great!īut the other strat hasn't been played much. Which was great for a few years, but last year it started to feel that the mids were too pronounced. Nailbomb was initially a bit too aggressive in the highs somehow, which was replaced by the Holy Diver. I've got a Cedar topped S6+ myself, and I used to have a hard time with that soft and thick/ bassy sounding Cedar top till I put BlueSteels on it (now it's twice as loud than before (even.

It has a Canadian accent, a bit sombre sounding with a nice sparkle in the Cherry body. It went from Nailbomb->Holy Diver->Nailbomb again with its bridge pickup. To begin with, the Seagull S6 is far from a bad sounding guitar. The latter has been played a lot since I got it, and it has mellowed in tone from what it was. One of them belongs to my father and is 'on a loan' to me, and the other is my custom strat. I have 2 similarly aged guitars at my home, both from 2009. and I'd be very interested in buying this device with some local friend of mine! That'd split the cost in half, about a to a cost of one wild night :lol: Still, $150 for a working placebo effect isn't too bad!! :lol: I kind of fear we might looking at another "magic bullet" that doesn't actually do too much except trigger a bit of a placebo effect in the player. Equally, if you are "in" on other guitars, but pick one up that you haven't played for a while, then I've always assumed it was me as the player who hadn't "tuned in" to the instrument yet.īUT. My reasoning has been, if you haven't played for a bit, then you are rusty. This again makes the Seagull S6 great for beginners and experts alike. The bridge offers great intonation and the tuners are very precise with very little slip. I pick up one for a little blast and put it down again as "not very inspiring".įor years, I've blamed me and my playing for this effect - and "played through it". This Seagull S6 review was a joy to research The maple neck is a 28.4 scale and rosewood fretboard provides smooth action all the way past the 12th fret. Now, every guitar I have (even the ones cleaned and new-strung), feels "foreign" and uncooperative. Also, I've been through a period of not playing everyday for a few months. I've got too many guitars to play them all regularly. No experience, and I too seem to recall reading about it before.
