This Nightingale Solist by Kevin Ryan is an absolute knock out. The Brazilian Rosewood Kevin used for the back and sides is stunningly figured and the Alpine spruce top is super tightly grained with great silking, so you know it came from a hand-split billet. Tonally this guitar hits all the right spots: The Brazilian and Alpine Spruce give this guitar a great bottom end with a slight reverb quality, while the trebles remain full and present. It’s a fingerpickers dream, with a perfectly balanced voice and ideal neck profile, but really loves the pick as well!

Playing this guitar is like a dream I don't want to wake up from. I enjoy every second with it and wish I could take it home with me... someone better stop me from keeping it! That Brazilian is some of the prettiest I have seen, and the craftsmanship is exquisite. Kevin is really flexing his muscles with this one.
This guitar was made especially for my wife Amy White by Kevin and he pulled out all of the stops. It's been used on all of our recent CDs. The most recent recording featuring it was a tune on Amy's album "Home, Sweet Home" called "How Can You Love Me." The song was nominated for a Grammy as best song and also best engineered song. The guitar is amazing and we hate to let it go. I hope it finds a good home with someone who will love it as much as we have.
