Crafted out of quality materials with top-notch electronics!
The Seagull Artist Series Mosaic is a solid cedar top acoustic-electric guitar with mahogany back and sides. The Seagull Mosaic is a guitar that excels in more intimate musical settings. The combination of cedar and mahogany produces a sweet sound which the Mosaic guitar's custom-polished finish further enhances.
The clear bottom end response arrives with plenty of punch and provides a suitable foundation to the harmonically rich sound that sits on top.
These models will look familiar to Seagull enthusiasts: the straight-pull headstock remains—now adorned with a new Artist logo —and the standard Seagull body shape has been altered only slightly with a narrower waist. All Artist model guitars are made with solid backs and sides. The impact of solid sides on the sound of a guitar is virtually immeasurable.
The new compound curve top concept was originally developed for the Seagull Artist Series guitars and it is in these models that the new design really proves itself. The Artist Series luthiers choose from the very best of a stockpile that includes over a hundred thousand, luthier-grade, solid cedar and spruce boards. In fact, all of the tone woods for the Artist Series are hand-selected to ensure that the very highest standards are met. The scalloped bracing is designed to such precise tolerances that it requires a CNC milling machine to carve the individual pieces to the exact specifications. The finished guitars speak with incredible clarity and character — and that's before they open up! These guitars develop an even deeper character when 'played-in' and will no doubt become lifelong companions to those who choose them.
All the Seagull Artist Series Guitars are finished with a custom polished finish. The technique on semi-gloss models produces a beautiful sheen reminiscent of an antique violin finish. The spruce top models are also finished with a custom polished finish but a slightly thicker coating is buffed to a high gloss. The less delicate nature of this finish makes these models more appropriate for more aggressive playing.
The Godin EPM Quantum II acoustic guitar system provides outstanding sound reproduction and performance. The Quantum II is a hybrid system combining an exceptionally responsive saddle transducer and high quality electret microphone in a simple, but very effective, configuration. The microphone capsule, specifically designed for use in this application, is mounted at the end of a 6 inch flexible boom integral to the side mount electronics. Four rotary controls adjust microphone presence / phase, overall volume, and saddle transducer bass & treble. Electronics and controls are packaged in an easy to use and logical format complemented with a finely crafted pewter cover plate.
Microphone signal can be added and blended either in phase or out of phase with the saddle transducer signal. This allows the user to cancel (or notch) potentially undesirable frequencies while accentuating others. This flexibility in combining signals results in outstanding clarity and richness of tone.
