Seagull Guitars say that their Artist series represents the cream of the crop and upper echelon of Seagullâ€™s many renowned acoustic models. Inspired by the recent Seagull models especially made for U.K. international chart-topper James Blunt, the Seagull Artist Bursts are crafted in Canada by Godin Guitars, in, say Seagull, a secluded acoustic studio, where some of the finest luthiers in the business are able put their care and time into bringing them to life.
Hereâ€™s more of what Seagull have to say in their own words:
Available in a 6-string dreadnought, and for the first time in the Artist series, a shimmering 12-string model. The attention to detail, craftsmanship and innovation can be seen and heard in all aspects of these guitars. The gorgeous High-gloss Custom Polished burst finish on both the body and the bound headstock (featuring the Artist series abalone/mother-of-pearl Seagull logo) allows the top to breathe and vibrate freely bringing out the true tone of the wood. This promotes the â€œagingâ€� process, in which the guitar will actually sound better and better the more it is played over time. Other features include solid rosewood back and sides, mahogany neck with the new integrated neck system and a select pressure tested solid spruce top to ensure the highest level of stiffness, rigidity and optimal harmonic vibration. An intricate herring bone inlaid rosette and hearing bone binding, along with the mother-of-pearl Seagull set into the 12th fret and the deluxe Tusq mother-of-pearl bridge pins top these instruments off beautifully.
