Seagull Entourage Guitar

Vintage-Inspired Tone in a Compact Package

The Seagull Entourage is a series of acoustic guitars from Seagull’s Entourage line, handcrafted in Quebec, Canada, and designed for players seeking a unique rustic aesthetic with solid performance. Ideal for folk, blues, and fingerstyle players across Australia, it features a pressure-tested solid cedar top and layered wild cherry back and sides for a warm, resonant sound. Available in models like the Entourage Rustic CW QI, Entourage Rustic Mini Jumbo, and Entourage Rustic Concert Hall, it’s praised for its affordability, playability, and distinctive distressed finish that gives a vintage, road-worn look without compromising quality.

Exceptional Sound Quality

The Entourage series delivers a warm, balanced tone with excellent projection:

• Body: Dreadnought, concert hall, or mini jumbo shapes with a pressure-tested solid cedar top for mellow highs and rich mids, paired with layered wild cherry back and sides for added warmth and resonance. The integrated set neck and compound curve top enhance volume and tone.
• Tone: Warm and articulate with a focus on midrange, offering a vintage-inspired response that’s versatile for strumming, fingerpicking, and light amplification. The cedar top provides a soft, responsive feel that opens up with age.
• Neck: Silver leaf maple with a slim, C-shaped profile and satin finish for comfortable playability. The rosewood fingerboard has a 16″ radius, 21 frets, and a 1.72″ nut width for smooth fretting and precise intonation.
• Bridge: Rosewood with a Tusq saddle for stable intonation and sustain.
• Electronics (QI models): Godin QI system with under-saddle transducer for natural amplified sound, including volume, bass, mid, treble controls, and a tuner.
• Tuners: Die-cast chrome for reliable tuning stability.
• Strings: Light-gauge phosphor bronze for balanced tone and ease of play.

Users appreciate its sound and build, with a Long & McQuade review stating, “The Entourage Rustic CW QI offers warm tone and excellent projection for its price.” Some note the rustic finish may not appeal to everyone, but it’s durable and adds character.
