Fascinating. Looks like a solid cedar top with laminate wild cherry back and sides to me. Also, it looks like it might have the Fishman Sonitone pickup in it just like the Mahogany Deluxe AE. That pick guard looks interesting too. Wonder if that is from Godin, or someone put it on after. Interesting shape.

I can't believe I've never seen or heard of this model before. Would love to know more about it myself. Nice lookin' dread.

Not an iota of any mention of this guitar. They're launching a new guitar and not advertising it in any way. Godin never ceases to make me shake my head. LOL.

I just spoke with my rep, cuz, you know.....curiosity, I just had to know. lol.

He says no one is really "supposed" to know about this guitar yet or at the very least not be advertising it because Godin wants to debut this guitar at the January NAMM show. They don't want to debut a guitar that's already being advertised and sold kind of thing.

So, whomever put that pic out and advertised it as a new model available and available for purchase is going, sort of, against Godin's request......at least that's the scuttlebutt I'm hearing right now.

My dealer says he's getting a couple in about 4 weeks, but says he was told to just have it available in the store, but not to advertise it in any way until after the January NAMM.

So there ya go. It's supposed to be a secret.....but the secret it OUT!

At least in the picture, it looks like the dreadnaught version of the Coastline Folk. I'd like to try or hear one of those....

Doesn't Godin know that we are Seagull detectives over here? Not much gets past us. I agree the pickguard looks Tayloresque, and when I first saw the photo I thought it was a Martin.

Hmmm...looks a lot like a S6 with a gloss finish, electronics and a Taylor-ish pickguard to my eye...guess you really can't blame Godin for their current expanded-model marketing strategy...it's a real crowded world out there these days for acoustic guitar makers, and a lot of the recent China-built guitars have thrown a whole new light on the quality/cost equation.

It doesn't look much like a Taylor Guard to me. Most of the Taylors have a point on the bottom. It's a bit like a Guild, but not as big. It's a bit like a Martin Performing Artist series guard, but without the point. It's a lot like Madeira Guitars' guards (Do they still make those?)

Played one of these out in the wild today. Apparently it had arrived this morning. Looked great, played and sounded good. Its not going to knock the LV-03 out of the house, but for $499, very nice. Godin is doing a better job in the looks department with these. It was on the rack next to a plain Jane S6, and looks wise, was miles ahead.

The shop in town carries Seagull, I was in there yesterday but they only had three hanging there -a Maritime dread, an S6 Original, and a regular Coastline S6. The Coastline Momentum was not represented. They usually have more Seagulls in there, and more variety of body types.
