General

Seagull's Maritime Solid Wood series consists of a number of excellent acoustic guitars that are great value for money. This all-solid Maritime SWS Semi-Gloss QIT is an electro-acoustic model equipped with a Godin QIT preamp. It has a top made of spruce that has been pressure tested to ensure optimal sound projection. It produces a sparkling, dynamic tone that is warmly enhanced by the mahogany back, sides and neck. The ebony bridge and Richlite fretboard add extra brightness to the overall sound too.

Maritime SWS Semi-Gloss QIT: preamp and playing comfort

The Godin QIT preamp ensures that the acoustic sound is faithfully reproduced when amplified. It's easy to use and features volume, treble and bass controls that allow you to customise your tone and it has a built-in tuner as well. This Seagull dreadnought is great for fingerpickers thanks to its 1.8-inch string nut that's wider than those on most other acoustic guitars. The flat, modern 16-inch fretboard radius offers optimal playing comfort for your left hand too.
