There’s a quiet authority to this 2019 Signature Series Paradiso Grand Concert that becomes obvious the moment you take it in. The top tells the story first. That Bearclaw Engelmann spruce is alive with texture, its silking and figuring dancing across a perfectly voiced soundboard that feels both refined and deeply organic. It is the kind of top that doesn’t just look special, it hints at the responsiveness and nuance waiting under your fingertips.
Flip it over and the Brazilian rosewood seals the deal. Deep, glassy, and richly figured, the back and sides present that unmistakable combination of power and complexity that only true Brazilian can deliver. The symmetry and color contrast are striking, but more importantly, this is the tonal engine behind the Paradiso’s expansive low end, piano-like clarity, and shimmering overtone content.
This is the work of Kevin Ryan, a builder whose decades behind the bench have placed him firmly among the modern greats. His approach is not just about tradition, but about thoughtful evolution. Backed by a small crew of highly skilled craftspeople, every Ryan guitar is a study in precision, innovation, and restraint. Nothing is overdone, yet everything is elevated.
The visual language here leans into Ryan’s Arts & Crafts Deco aesthetic, and it is executed with remarkable cohesion. Blue paua purfling traces the entire instrument, from the soundboard to the back, sides, fingerboard, and headstock, tying everything together with a subtle iridescent glow. The rosette, fingerboard, and bridge wing inlays echo that motif with understated sophistication, while the blue paua “R” logo with micro pearl detail provides a final signature touch.
In hand, the experience is equally compelling. The Venetian cutaway flows effortlessly into Ryan’s ergonomic bevel with flutes, making extended playing feel natural and relaxed. Under the hood, Ryan’s Innovation Suite is fully present. EO bracing, the acoustic honeycomb structure, and the A5 “Racing Stripe” kerfed liner all contribute to a voice that is both powerful and incredibly efficient. The micro adjustable truss rod system ensures precise setup control, while titanium bridge pins enhance clarity and response.
The neck carve feels immediately familiar, with a 1.75 inch nut width, 2.25 inch spacing, and a 25.7 inch scale that strikes a perfect balance between articulation and playability. Gotoh Super 510 tuners in black chrome with cosmo black buttons provide smooth, reliable tuning, and every detail, down to the ebony truss rod cover with its paua-accented corona, reflects a level of care that never feels excessive.
Despite being a pre-owned instrument, this guitar presents in excellent condition. It has clearly been respected, and it carries itself with the kind of maturity that only a lightly played, well-kept Ryan can offer.
At just 4 pounds 11 ounces, it is remarkably alive in your hands, and it comes housed in a Hoffee carbon fiber flight case, ready for anything from the studio to the stage to the road.
This is not just a beautiful instrument. It is a complete expression of Kevin Ryan’s philosophy. Elegant, innovative, and deeply musical.
