Kevin Ryan makes some of the biggest, baddest fingerstyle guitars on the planet. With his engineering background and his artist’s eye and ear, Kevin achieves instruments that have remarkable precision and sustain with an absolutely gorgeous aesthetic and sound. This guitar, the Cathedral Grand Fingerstyle, is the largest ship in his armada. It has an enormous presence and fulness about the voice, requiring little energy from the player to put out large amounts of volume owing to the time tested pairing of Brazilian Rosewood and European Spruce. With its breadth and depth of tone and body, it takes especially well to lower and alternate tunings. Add to that a Florentine cutaway for extra reach and the smooth, legendary “Ryan” arm bevel, this one is surprisingly comfortable to play – that is, assuming you’ll take the time to pry your eyes off of the gorgeous green abalone border and physics-defying figured back. Give it a strum and you’ll be tempted, but play a whole tune and you’ll be hooked for a lifetime. This here is what the high end guitar world is all about.
I've played a lot of Ryans in my day, but MAN does this one have some soul to it. It's just oozing mojo and is an ultimately playable guitar. Its size belies its comfort and this thing has bass for days! If you're looking for that body encapsulating sound, you've found it here. Tune it any way you like and you'll be sure to have a good time. 
The biggest of the Ryan models, this one has bass to spare and sounds almost like a portable piano. If you are a fingerstyle player, this one might appeal to you. It makes everything sound full and powerful, especially when tuned down to a lower tuning. | Scale Length | 25.75 in |
