Seagull Maritime SWS Mini Jumbo Guitar in High Gloss – Beauty & Sound at an Affordable Price

The Maritime SWS Mini-Jumbo HG, as with all SWS models, features all solid wood construction with a Select Pressure Tested solid spruce top and solid mahogany back & sides. This guitar provides an excellent full-range of tone including a lively mid-range due to the combination of a larger lower bout, a more narrow waist and slightly thinner body depth.

Comes with a pressure tested solid spruce top
The Maritime SWS Folk HG also features a high-gloss Custom Polished Finish. This finish provides excellent protection but at the same time is extremely light and elastic. This is a crucial point in both the sound of the guitar and its ability to age - a thick finish muffles a guitar's vibration and blocks aging.

Beautiful Tonewoods and Onboard Electronics Package

The Maritime SWS Mini Jumbo high-gloss acoustic-electric guitar is made with a solid mahogany body. The guitar's mahogany body produces a strong sound with an emphasis on a mellow, round midrange. The Maritime SWS also features a solid spruce top, integrated set mahogany neck, chrome hardware, and an Indian rosewood bridge and fretboard. The guitar's high-gloss finish provides excellent protection but at the same time is extremely light and elastic. This is a crucial point in both the sound of the guitar and its ability to age—a thick finish muffles a guitar's vibration and blocks aging.

Beyond its curvaceous looks, the Mini Jumbo offers a sound distinguished by a strong midrange response, making it suitable for performing and recording situations that call for a guitar that will cut through the mix. The lively midrange in this guitar will also appeal to fingerstyle players. The guitar also features the Godin Quantum I onboard electronics for a great plugged-in experience.

Features the Seagull Slim neck


The Perfect Neck Angle

Neck angle has a tremendous effect on guitar tone. The Seagull re-design served as the impetus for several refinements to Godin’s neck matching technology. Bodies and necks are now matched with incredible precision and the new compound curve in the top provides the additional stability necessary to achieve and maintain optimum neck pitch.

A History of Quality

In 1982 Robert Godin and a few friends produced the first Seagull guitars in the Village of LaPatrie, Quebec. The concept for the Seagull guitar was to take the essential components of the best hand-crafted guitars (such as solid tops and beautiful finishes) and build these features into guitars that could be priced within the reach of working musicians. Of course there is much more to a great guitar than a solid top with a special finish, so we produced this illustrated guide to help you gain some understanding of the basic elements of a great sounding acoustic guitar.

The Seagull story wouldn't be complete without mentioning La Patrie. La Patrie is a small village in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. This is where the first Seagulls were made in the early eighties. Today, La Patrie has a population of about 475 and about half of these people are guitar builders. These folks take a great deal of pride in the guitars they build. Pick one up and you'll see why.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful sound and eye catching looks, December 22, 2011
This review is from: Seagull Maritime SWS Mini Jumbo HG Guitar (Electronics)
This curvacious guitar looks beautiful and sounds even better. I have been a guitarist for over 30 years and have owned several guitars during that time. None have moved me like this one. One would have to spend several times the price to find a guitar that looks and sounds better than this one. I am completely satisfied with rhis guitar and do not ever want to part with it. If you are looking for a quality guitar and can not afford a really high end price, this one is for you - go for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tone, tone, tone., June 24, 2012
This review is from: Seagull Maritime SWS Mini Jumbo HG Guitar (Electronics)
It usually takes me a while to warm up to a guitar. I'm a bit of a tone snob. Nothing I've played or owned for the past 10 years has compared to my Taylor 710CE...until now. This mini jumbo doesn't have quite the projection of my Taylor dreadnought, but this thing sounds incredible to my ears. I buy and sell guitars like crazy, but I'm intent on keeping this one. Lots of shimmering highs, good midrange, and full (but not boomy) lows make it such a well rounded guitar. I don't do alot of fingerstyle so I was a little concerned that it wouldn't be a great strummer, but it definitely is. I had an LR Baggs iBeam active pickup professionally installed in it and it's just dreamy. My dad actually likes it better than my Taylor. I don't know if I'd go that far, but for the money you can't go wrong with the Seagull Maritime Mini Jumbo.
