I wasn't really looking for another guitar, but stumbled over this S6 Classic Cedar for $130 CAD. I havn't been playing dreads lately, but really like the sound of this one. Sold the case it came with and picked up a new Seagull gig bag, which suits me way better. My wife has told me not to sell this one. She loves the sound. Nice change from the concert halls, just a bit more stretch to get around her

Derick,
Thanks Derick. Photos are added. The setup was perfect. Strings still ok. So I don't have to fuss, just play!

I think the new Classics have the strap button on the side of the guitar, this one has it on the bottom side of the heal, and the old Seagull logo. Really happy with the purchase.

I've got a Coastline S6 Cedar GT (basically a S6 with cedar gloss top and stained wild cherry back and sides) and love it so much. Have fun!

I started out playing decades ago on a S6 Spruce Dread, so the Classic feels somewhat familiar. Didn't know they did a Cedar top in a Gloss. Interesting.

I've always believed that that is one of the best guitars Godin makes and still is to this day. Can't beat the bang for the buck on that one, especially for what you scooped it for!

TonyKgull, Thanks. I don't think I had played a Classic before this one. I am normally a Spruce guy, although I had a Cedar folk at one time.

The seller didn't like the wide fret board and just wanted it gone. One of the few used guitars I have purchased that didn't need a setup.

Great deal on a great guitar, SuperDave...the S6 really started it all for Godin, and they've had sense enough not to mess too much with a very good design over the years. That cedar over wild cherry combo works really well, and the wider neck is great for fingerpicking. You've got yourself a real keeper...
