description Seagull Maritime SWS GT Acoustic Guitar Overview
The Seagull Maritime SWS GT represents exceptional Canadian craftsmanship in the mid-range acoustic guitar market. Featuring a solid cedar top and wild cherry back and sides, this guitar produces a warm, focused tone with quick attack response.

help Seagull Maritime SWS GT Acoustic Guitar FAQ
Is the Seagull Maritime SWS GT made in Canada?
Yes, Seagull guitars are made in La Patrie, Quebec, under the Godin family of brands. The Maritime SWS line is positioned as a solid-wood series rather than an entry-level laminate instrument.
What does SWS mean on the Seagull Maritime?
SWS stands for Solid Wood Series. On Maritime models, that designation indicates solid woods for the top, back, and sides, although the exact species vary between model years and versions.
What is different about the Maritime SWS GT finish?
GT refers to a gloss-top treatment, while much of the remaining body commonly uses a thinner semi-gloss finish. A gloss top provides the familiar polished appearance without covering the entire guitar in a heavy high-gloss coating.
How does the Maritime SWS GT sound compared with a spruce dreadnought?
A cedar-topped Maritime generally responds quickly to a light touch and produces a warmer initial attack than a typical solid-spruce dreadnought. Players who strum very aggressively may prefer spruce's extra headroom, while fingerstyle players often appreciate cedar's responsiveness.
