I recently purchased a Seagull Concert Hall Mahogany like this one.

cosmomusic.ca/guitar-acoustic-seagull-concert-hall-mahogany-sg-a-e-1.html

It's a nice guitar but you sure don't find a whole lot about them on line. No reviews. Nothing on the Seagull website for that matter. Mine has the 1.80 nut width and I believe the Concert Hall's now have a 1.72 nut. Is this something that Godin only made for a short period? Maybe it wasn't doing so well for them so they maybe discontinued them?

Just curious.

Any clue what model? It does seem they're going away from the wide 1.80" nut.

The pic on the link shows an all-hog guitar.

While I don't mind the 1.80 nut, I'm finding I prefer the more standard 1.75 width: wide enough for easy fingering (for me, anyway) and an easier neck width to handle.

So it would have to be an S6, but they only made that model in 2016. Anything you find will be new old stock.

It's a Mahogany Concert Hall SG A/E. Solid top with laminate back & sides. Has a low end Fishman Sonitone in it.

I suspected it may be new old stock because of the wider nut which, as you state, they are getting away from. Likely because of market demand??

What market isn't demanding wider necks? Martin has been going wider. Why would Seagull be going away from them? It's one of the things they were known for, along with cedar top, which they're also going away from. And the awesome mini jumbo shape!!

I heard Robert Godin is not happy with some of the decisions his sons Simon and Patrick have made.

wooly, It was the Concert Hall version of the Seagull Mahogany Deluxe A/E. All specs the same I believe except for the body size. So anything you want to know about it, just check the info on the dread, and it'll be the same for your guitar, again, except for the body size.

=====================================
"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will
give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I
am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your
souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
- Jesus, from Matthew 11:28-30

WELCOME TO THE ACOUSTIC GUITAR CABIN!!!
