Artist Series Studio Cutaway Quantum II Acoustic-Electric Guitar

The Studio CW acoustic-electric is the flagship of Seagull's Artist guitar series. Many luthiers consider the combination of rosewood back and sides with a spruce top to be the standard that all other wood combinations are measured against. With rich sound and ample dynamics and projection, the Studio Cutaway guitar is equally at home on stage and in more intimate fully acoustic settings. With the ability to be played as an acoustic or plugged directly into a recording console, the Quantum II also makes an exceptional choice for recording.

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, yet very effective, configuration. The microphone capsule, specifically designed for use in this application, is mounted at the end of a 6" 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 signals 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.
