Would this be a good beginner choice for my 13 year old daughter? She is an accomplished piano player and begging for a guitar.

The Seagull S-6 is a fabulous guitar, especially at this price. I've owned mine for almost nine years and I fall in love with it every time I take it out of the case and play it. But it's probably NOT the guitar your daughter needs if she's not a large 13 year old. I would highly recommend you consider a couple others (one of which I also own and love). I own a Taylor GS mini and my room mate owns a Baby Taylor. Either one will cost under $500. Both are reduced scale (3/4 size) guitars. My GS Mini is all Mahogany, while his Baby Taylor is Spruce top with Sapele back & sides (Sapele is an African wood much like Mahogany). I would try both of these great guitars an choose either one based upon fit and sound preference.

i have short fingers, will i be able to play this guitar?

Hello, not sure how short is short but I believe the neck is narrow enough where most people regardless of finger length should be able to play the guitar. I would take a chance because the acoustics are really nice.

Does the S6 use a bolted neck connection, similar to Taylor and other makers?

If you watch the Youtube video of the Godin guitar factory tour who makes Seagull you will see that it is an epoxied set neck which also uses bolts. You can not remove the neck by just removing the bolts.

I have this model. It's a great guitar, but the tuners are getting little bit old. Could you advise me which tuners must be the best for Seagull?

Before you change tuners, check if they are simply getting sticky - sometimes a bit of white grease in the right spot sorts everything out. Also, they make replacements from the factrory. If upgrading, I'd probably go for a little better gear ratio in a quality tuner, makes it less quick and hair trigger to move up or down a bit. Always seemed a bit sensitive to me. 18/1 comes to mind...
