See article for Tchix characteristics.

UTILIZATION

The sleeve is nice, a little finer than the S6 Original. The mini jumbo shape does not interfere with the game setting of the action is a bit too high of origin, like most of the Seagull.

SOUNDS

I joined the opinion of Tchix regarding sounds. For its price (400 to 500 €), this Seagull offers the "leg" of the trademark sound affirmed round and warm. The sound is fairly balanced with that extra bit of reverb and projection due to the shape jumbo ... As the strings are new home! Indeed, I've tested several Seagull, the lower the premium, and all have original strings D'Addario phosphor bronze (stamped Godin). They sound good the first few hours of play but the presence, especially in the bass fades thereafter. The sound spectrum becomes unbalanced to midrange to treble. This fairly common on unprotected ropes is particularly detrimental on this guitar.
To really appreciate it fully, it needs a proper adjustment of the action (can be done if your blackjack dealer's maker) and a good set of strings protected, eg Addario EXP phosphor bronze (near of the original spirit), or more typed: Elixir in Polyweb (to accentuate the roundness) or Nanoweb (to accentuate the shine) (Nb: Elixir Phosphor Bronze must be between the two but I have not yet tested).
To complete the Seagull S6 Original sounds a bit rounder and more balanced but has that little side "jumbo".

OVERALL OPINION

This is a good product that deserves a bit of attention (and setting strings) to become a truly indispensable in its price category. Indeed it has a flavor all its own sound which is difficult to obtain in its Asian competitors.
The varnish of the table is fine and quite fragile. It will take care of (+ + + Avoid the angles of furniture and a good plan to cover). However Seagull design in general is pretty beefy (stability of the handle + +).
