Default So if I made a couple of million a year...

I would be loading up on a couple (ok, maybe a few) of these....

Kevin Ryan Guitars

I'll let you hunt around the website for the prices.

The Nightingale is a killer.

All the Kevin Ryan guitars I've owned and played have been incredible instruments in everyway. Otherworldly tone!!!!

Pat Donohue plays one on a DVD of his I have. It's a fabulous sounding beast.

They are definitely fabulous guitars, but you don't need to be a multi-millionaire to own one. Base price for a Nightingale is $8000. People buy cars costing 2-3 times that without batting an eye. So it comes down to priorities: how badly do you want that guitar and what sacrifices are you willing to make? . Of course you could also go to the used market.

I've never seen or heard one, but the photos in the website are breathtaking, and his description of his unique design features is very compelling. Would love to have a chance to put my hands on one, my recent Bourgeois purchase notwithstanding.

In my definitely biased opinion, my Ryan all koa 12 string is the best sounding 12 I've ever played.

I believe you. A friend has a Cathedral and it is an amazing guitar.

What a beauty. Congratulations!
