Kevin Ryan / Nightingale Grand Soloist Quilted Maple Master Grade Sitka Spruce Edge Burst NAMM / 2020 / Guitar

This Beautiful Kevin Ryan Nightingale Grand Solist is a perfect example of excellent craftsmanship, vision and perfection. The striking accuracy with which Kevin Ryan works is immediately clear when you play this Kevin Ryan Grand Soloist. This guitar was hand-picked by our very own Coen and Marc when they visited the Ryan workshop a few weeks back, and you've got to hand it to them; they have got great taste! Starting with the choice of tonewoods; the top was crafted out of beautiful straight-grained mastergrade bearclaw Sitka spruce which was fitted with Ryan's Engineered Laser Cut Bracing. This strong and light bracing makes for for an exquisitely responsive soundboard. Meanwhile, the Plus Acoustic Honeycomb bridgeplate adds lively and brilliant tone while increasing soundboard strength and decreasing weight and distortion. The sides and Spherically-Arched Back were both made out of some of the most stunning pieces of Quilted Maple we have ever laid our eyes on, a small piece of which can also be found on the back of the headstock. This quilted maple was also upgraded with the optional edge-burst finish, further enhancing the depth and coloring of this breathtaking tonewood. Another great detail found on the body is the original integrated, ergonomic Ryan Bevel. This design innovation offers balanced sound and optimum comfort. Thanks to the integrated Acoustic Flutes, the guitar Projects brilliant overtones toward the performer and audience alive. Other features include a Low Profile Neck, an ultra-rigid yet slim neck shape made possible by their proprietary micro-adjustable truss rod system, extended Scale Length which increases sustain, volume and clarity—especially for lowered tunings, florentine cutaway, Koa body bindings, Blaue Paua abalone top purfling, wide koa rosette with Blue Paua Purfling, Blue Paua "R" Logo, Gotoh Super 510 Gold tuners with ebonoid buttons and embossed logo, Ghost Fretboard inlays made of Paua and MOP, Shell Appointments Upgrade package, Blue paua headstock and fretboard purfling, micropearl logo purfling, Titanium Bridgepins and A5 Kerfed liner.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
