General
The Seagull Coastline S12 Cedar QI is an electro-acoustic 12-string guitar that features a Godin EPM Quantum I preamplifier and a solid cedar top. This beautiful Canadian guitar has a great high-quality finish, the results of which you're sure to notice from the first note you play. Furthermore, the slim, set neck is made from Silver Leaf Maple and is accompanied by a 21-fret rosewood fretboard. It should also be added that this guitar features a tapered headstock to ensure incredibly stable tuning, as it pulls the strings straighter than typical models with a larger angle at the string nut.
Coastline S12 Cedar QI: Materials
The top of this natural guitar is made of solid cedar to provide a mild tone with relatively modest dynamics and a direct response. You'll find that the general sound of this guitar is very warm, so you can count on sufficient power in the lower registers. Laminated Canadian cherry wood was used to make the sides and back of the S12 QI, and the guitar is finished with a semi-gloss, which is done by hand in the small Canadian town of its birth.
Electronics: Quantum I
The difference between the S12 Cedar and this S12 Cedar QI is the presence of electronics. This guitar is equipped with the Godin EPM Quantum I preamp module - a smart, simple system that smoothly transfers your sound to the amplifier. It features an incredibly responsive saddle pickup that's well attuned to the electronics, which include volume control and a 2-band EQ. Furthermore, the equalizer provides a large, spacious sound that you'd sooner expect from systems in higher price classes. Finally, this guitar also features a practical built-in tuner so you don't have to carry around a separate tuner or pedal. When you choose the Seagull Coastline S12, you choose pure Canadian artisanship.

Played this guitar against a Guild Coastline 12 string and a Taylor 150e. I was always going to buy the Taylor in my mind before I played this. When I did play all three back to back the seagull was the clear winner for comfort and tone with the Taylor coming second and the solid wood guild third. Guitars with laminate back and sides have come a long way and this Seagull is a belter saving £250 on the Taylor and £500 on the Guild.
Highly recommended, especially if you have smaller fingers as it is a short scale fretboard.

Op een mooie zondag vanuit Zuid Limburg naar Goes gereden, koopzondag kon ik op de website lezen.
De eerste keer naar Bax, spannend!
Ik was van plan om 12 snarige gitaren te gaan bekijken. Heel vroeger heb ik een exemplaar gehad en ik zou graag weer een erbij willen hebben.
Bax had een aantal op voorraad, ik heb ze dan ook goed en op mijn gemak kunnen uitproberen.
Eigenlijk ging ik voor een Takamine, Fender of Guild.
Ik heb ze allemaal geprobeerd en was redelijk tevreden, maar toen ik aan de uiterst behulpzame verkoper naar de Seagull vroeg, was ik direct onder de indruk van de looks en afwerking van deze gitaar.
Zelf heb ik diverse akoestische Gibsons en een dijk van een Taylor 814Ce, ik ben dus wel iets gewend qua afstelling en afwerking!
Kortom: een klasse gitaar, geweldig afgesteld en een genot om er op te spelen.
Ook de inbouwde opnemer is subliem en voelde zich direct verenigd met mijn Fishman Artist Amp.
Ik had nooit eerder naar een Seagull gekeken, maar deze gitaar zal niet de enige Seagull blijven.
Chapeau voor de behulpzame verkopers van Bax!!!

Een dijk van een 12string. Ik heb een demo model op de kop kunnen tikken voor zeer gunstige prijs en deze gitaar is keigoed. De afstelling was ook pico bello gedaan, ik heb alleen de stemming verlaagd kwestie van tension te verminderen ( stemming drop C, twee tonen omlaag CGCFAD ipv. Standaard stemming EADGBE).
Deze Seagull is ideaal voor fingerpicking en plectrumgebruik en heeft zuivere klank en prettige actie om comfortabel te spelen.
Een echte aanrader !
