This is a gorgeous Figured Koa and Red Cedar Ryan Nightingale. This is a great combination of tonewoods, Koa is strong, bright and punchy while Cedar is rich, warm and full sounding. Together they give this guitar a voice that is powerful and lush and makes it a great choice for many varieties of music. Like all Ryans it excels at Fingerstyle music but this one also strums beautifully with a warm and sparkling chime. The Cocobolo Armrest Bevel and bindings perfectly frame out the Koa body and accent the red hues in the Cedar top. There is a cutaway, bound headstock and Cocobolo backplate as well. Comes with a Calton Deluxe Flight Case!
Kevin builds a great Cedar top guitar. I really enjoy the fat, warm trebles on this one. But there is plenty of that Ryan sparkle as well and the larger Nightingale body can't help but have deep, resonant bass response. This is a very complete guitar to me, it's extremely well balanced for a large guitar and I love the blend of these two woods, they really seem to be working together for the sake of the music. This one is superb for fingerstyle but also strums beautifully and I'm sure would make a great accompaniment instrument as well as a featured solo guitar. Stunning woods, an armrest bevel and a cutaway, it's all there! 
I have played Ryan Nightingales for many years and I love the complexity of tone they offer. This one is unique with its cedar top and koa back and sides. It looks beautiful and sounds beautiful too. | Scale Length | 25.6000 in |
