The 2025 Kevin Ryan Paradiso Grand Concert in Quilted Port Orford Cedar and Tasmanian Tiger Myrtle stands as a vision of modern lutherie’s highest art, a union of innovation and natural wonder shaped by one of the world’s most inventive builders. Though this instrument has been played, it remains in immaculate, like-new condition, its every curve and surface still alive with the glow of its recent creation. It represents Kevin Ryan’s continued legacy as a master of refinement and precision, a builder whose designs have continually redefined what an acoustic guitar can be.
The Paradiso Grand Concert form, Ryan’s latest evolution in acoustic design, sings with both grace and grandeur. Its Master Grade Tasmanian Tiger Myrtle back and sides ripple with visual energy, a pattern of golden flame and shifting grain that seems to move beneath the light. This rare tonewood, sourced from the ancient forests of Tasmania, lends a voice that is luminous and articulate, with a rich, singing midrange and a clear, harmonically complex sustain. The soundboard of Master Grade Quilted Port Orford Cedar, finished in a stunning Tiger Eye stain, gleams with warmth and depth, a perfect counterpart to the vibrant beauty of the myrtle. Port Orford Cedar, itself a tonewood of extraordinary character, merges the quick response of spruce with the overtone bloom of cedar, creating a tonal palette that is at once immediate and endlessly expressive.
Every detail of this Paradiso reflects Kevin Ryan’s philosophy that craftsmanship should be both art and engineering in perfect balance. The Macassar Ebony binding theme frames the body with dark elegance, while the Florentine cutaway lends the form a touch of poised drama. Blue Paua purfling dances along every edge—the soundboard, back, sides, fingerboard, and headstock—each shimmer catching the light like the ocean at dawn. The Ghost rosette, paired with the ethereal Full Ghost fingerboard and bridge inlays, speaks of subtle mystery, offering visual grace without distraction. The headstock is a masterwork of contrast and continuity, with a Nicaraguan Rosewood front veneer and Macassar Ebony rear veneer, crowned by the Blue Paua “R” logo adorned with MicroPearl detail. Even the truss rod cover, finished in ebony with Blue Paua and a Corona accent, is treated as a piece of jewelry.
Yet beneath its stunning exterior, the Paradiso reveals Ryan’s unmatched pursuit of performance and comfort. The Innovation Suite brings together his signature Ergonomic Bevel with carved flutes, EO bracing system, Acoustic Honeycomb structure, and Micro Adjustable Truss Rod system. Titanium bridge pins, A5 “Racing Stripe” kerfed liners, and Gotoh Super 510 tuners with ebonoid buttons complete the design, offering a level of precision and playability that makes every note feel effortless.
With a 1.75-inch nut, 2.25-inch bridge spacing, and a 25.7-inch scale length, this Paradiso Grand Concert feels immediately familiar yet refined in its balance and touch. Its voice is pure and sustaining, with a rare equilibrium across all registers that invites both intricate fingerstyle and expressive melodic work. Weighing only 4 pounds 9 ounces, it feels alive in the hands, a resonant extension of the player’s intent.
To hold this 2025 Paradiso is to witness Kevin Ryan’s vision made manifest—a marriage of art, acoustics, and soul. It is a guitar that transcends its materials, where every line and tone reflect the mind of a luthier who continues to shape the future of the instrument while honoring its most sacred traditions. Accompanied by its fitted Calton flight case, it stands ready to travel the world, carrying with it a sound both timeless and new, radiant as the day it left Ryan’s bench.
