Ryan Cathedral Grand Fingerstyle

Ryan Nightingale Grand Soloist
United States
The Nightingale, developed by luthier Kevin Ryan in collaboration with guitarist Pierre Bensusan, is Ryan Guitars' most versatile model. It delivers deep bass and rich projection of a larger guitar while keeping the sparkling trebles and crisp mid-range of a grand-concert-style instrument, and is built in Westminster, California.

Ryan Mission
United States
The Mission was one of Kevin Ryan's earliest designs, a small-jumbo fingerstyle guitar influenced by Jim Olson's small jumbo and the Santa Cruz FS. It balances warmth with bright, shimmery trebles and clear, sparkling bass.
