The sweets of time are strong in this one. We love a guitar that’s opened up; love it so much more when it’s a Kevin Ryan Mission Grand Concert from 2001. Cedar top plus Mahogany body, wide awake and singing, makes for a very responsive and engaging voice. Trebles have the classic Ryan shimmer, but there’s also a lively and organic quality to the bass and mids to really fill out the voice. Tune it to DADGAD and hold onto your picks, folx. With a fresh refret to the tune of Gold EVO frets, this Ryan MGC is raring to go for another 20 years.

I don't see many cedar and mahogany guitars from Kevin Ryan, but it sure does work. Warm and clear and beautiful this is a unique Ryan that can cover a lot of territory. 
I love the wood combination here. Add in a few decades of music (note this one just had a refret with EVOs), and the result is a wide open powerhouse. | Scale Length | 25.75 in |
