The Coastline S6 Crème Brulée SG includes a select pressure tested solid spruce top adorned with a beautiful Crème Brulée semi-gloss custom polished finish. This finish allows for maximum response & vibration in the guitar's top, which means that it sounds as good as it looks. The body is made of Canadian wild cherry with a Silver leaf maple integrated set neck. A double function truss rod and a compensated nut & saddle by Graphtech maintain playing stability and intonation. Select Pressure Tested Solid Tops A guitar produces sound as a result of the vibration of its strings. What's not so obvious is the role that the guitar top plays in amplifying these vibrations. In fact, the vibration of the top is one of the most important factors in a guitar's sound. Solid top guitars offer richer sound and wider dynamic range. All Seagull guitars are made with select pressure tested solid tops. Each solid top is pressure tested to ensure its highest level of rigidity and stiffness along with maximum harmonic vibration. This benefits the overall tone, projection and resonance which in turn benefits the player and increases the lifespan of the guitar. The tight, straight grain in this wood produces a unique combination of strength and flexibility. The top is strong enough—in the direction of the grain—to withstand the pull of the strings, while at the same time it's flexible enough—across the grain—to vibrate freely. Case sold separately.
