The Maritime SWS SG, as with all SWS models, features all solid wood construction with a Select Pressure Tested solid spruce top and solid mahogany back & sides. The Maritime SWS SG also features a semi-gloss Custom Polished Finish with a beautiful satin sheen. 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.

This guitar has D-18 like BIG sound. I also own Gibsons and Martin but prefer this as my party guitar. The sound is super impressive. Big and full. You simply cannot beat a Seagull SWS for value. It is like the S6 on steroids.

I've had this guitar for some time now and i love playing it!! As noted in other reviews, it stays in tune!! Seagull are highly underrated guitars. I love being able to afford and play and handcrafted North American instrument! I also own the 12 string and it too is a joy to play.

The Seagull sws sg Maritime is my first all solid wood acoustic, and yes, all wood makes a difference. I had every intention of getting a Taylor 114, but after trying them and a few others, I kept coming back to the Seagull. I live in Canada so I saved some tax money not having to pay the elevated prices of a Martin or Taylor in the same category of guitar. The Maritime sws sg was better than the Martin DRS1 and Taylor 114 and a couple of Sigmas I tried in terms of playability and tuning. It’s also the most aesthetically pleasing of these choices. This guitar stays in tune like none other I have ever owned, due to its highly functional headstock design. I don’t care how it looks, i’d rather have it stay in tune than have the word Gibson on it. It has started to open up in the last few months and I can sense already how great this guitar will sound a few years down the road.

This was my first guitar that I bought back in 2009. These guitars sound fantastic - the solid mahogany back and sides definitely make a difference. It's simple but well made, and worth every penny. I haven't seen any other solid mahogany back guitars in this price range, and being Canadian made makes it even better value. This is not a frilly or "fancy" guitar - just a simple instrument of excellent quality. In hindsight, the only reason why I don't play this guitar more than I do is that its large and deep body feels a bit too big now that I've gotten used to more comfortable smaller bodied instruments. This is not a knock against this guitar, just something to be aware of ergonomics wise depending on what you're looking for. However, the large size gives it a great tone.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
