If Seagull made a guitar with the same specs but with a small body I would buy that guitar in a heartbeat. Please somebody let me know that they make it and I just haven't found it yet.

But in short, in my experience the S6 is a fantastic guitar.
Yes they do, and it's right here on my lap. It's the S6+ Folk, a cedar-topped, Wild-Cherry bodied, wide-necked and short-scaled model. After adding a bone saddle (thanks, MacNichol!), it has a loud and full voice, with plenty of resonance. It won't make me give up my MJs, but it's much more sound and tone than I've heard from the next size down, the Grand Concerts.

The Folk models are just the size of a standard classic guitar, BTW.

Mine was bought used, 16 years old, for $160. I got lucky!
