Coastline Series
The Seagull Coastline series represents another outstanding value in the acoustic guitar world. Featuring select pressure tested solid Cedar or Spruce tops, Wild Cherry back & sides, integrated set necks and custom polished finishes. On the Coastline "GT" models, these finishes include the aesthetic beauty of semi-gloss back & sides combined with a lustrous Gloss Top. All models in the Coastline series, also feature a beautiful dark stain on their back & sides that is both rich & distinctive in appearance.
The Seagull Coastline S12 Cedar is one of the easiest 12-string guitars to tune on the market. Twelve string guitars must endure a great deal of added stress on the neck. The Seagull neck design offers superior stability, even on the twelve string models tuned to concert pitch. The straight string pull of the tapered Seagull headstock is an especially big advantage when it comes to tuning a twelve string guitar and keeping it in tune.
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.
Adirondack Spruce Bracing
The Strength and lightweight qualities of Adirondack Spruce make for ideal bracing material. It provides the strength needed to resist string tension without weighing down the top, allowing it to be more responsive and vibrate freely.
Custom Polished Finish
Reminiscent of the French polish of the 19th century, this new finish gives the semi gloss a gorgeous satin sheen and the high gloss a lustrous shine as well as accentuating the natural wood grain of the instrument. More importantly, the Custom Polished finish allows the top to breathe and vibrate freely bringing out the true tone of the wood. This in turn promotes the ever important process, known as "aging", in which the guitar will actually sound better the more it is played over time.
Compound Curve Tops
Slightly arching the top above the sound hole resists downward pressure created by the fingerboard and increases the structural integrity of the top.
Integrated Set Neck System
The Integrated Set Neck system allows for more consistent and stable action while significantly reducing warping and twisting of the neck, largely attributed to changes in climate.
Tapered Headstocks
Provides straight string pull, which makes tuning and staying in tune much easier. Also great for open tunings.
Double-Action Truss Rods
The rod bends in both directions, which provides unprecedented control over the neck.
