I've owned a Mission Grand Concert and a Paradiso, both wonderful but a bit too large, and thus sold to fund a smaller size Ryan - Grand Abbey Parlor. I adore these guitars - the "3D" sound, booming bass, even tone across strings, and just lovely responsiveness for fingerstyle. Added bonus, Kevin is one of the nicest humans on the planet - a pleasure to get to know, and to work with.
My Abbey has 25.5" scale length so I'm about to put it up for sale on AGF and do my own build for a short scale Abbey - will be joining you in the queue soon!
