For Sale Or Trade: *SOLD* - Mint 2018 Ryan Nightingale Grand Soloist

[Wespj10]

I'm relisting my Ryan Nightingale Grand Soloist. This guitar was acquired from The Music Emporium in early November. It is in like new condition with 20 or so hours of play. While I love the fit, finish and playability of the guitar, I do need to raise some cash and I tend to play my SCGC OMs a little more often.

I'm listing this at $old shipped to CONUS assuming the buyer either pays PP fees or pays via friends and family. I have numerous references here and on Reverb and I'm happy to share those if needed.

I had many trade offers the last time I listed, but nothing that quite fit. My hope is to net around $6 -$7k in cash on any trade, and I would consider a Martin, Santa Cruz or Goodall as good options. The only exception to this would be a Froggy Bottom (A, C, H or M models). I could do a lower cash component for the right FB.

Please let me know if you have any questions or would like a sound clip.

Thanks for looking!

Nice looking guitar Wes, GLWS.

That bridge is so familiar...was Ryan an apprentice of Olson, similar to Applegate?

Thanks Brendan. Interesting point on the bridge but I think Kevin’s background before building guitars was in cabinet making and aerospace. His innovations and designs are pretty original and amazing. But maybe the bridge was something he borrowed from his peers (or they from him).

Jim Olson is a Kevin’s mentor from way back.

Such a nice Ryan, GLWS....! Wes is a easy person to deal with who knows fine guitars well, deal with confidence!

Some really good interest in this Ryan with some very interesting trade offers, but the guitar is still available.

Bump to the top.

This looks like a GREAT deal to me. What a nice Ryan with that awesome case. If I had excess cash and not so many guitars i need to sell to pay my taxes etc., I'd be making a run at this one. Surprised it is still here.

Wes is a great guy to know and work with. This one should be gone. Buy with confidence!

Thanks for the kind words Mike! This guitar is amazing for a fingerstyle player. Beautiful tone and great clarity with just the right level of overtones.

I’m open to cash offers as there is a recently listed guitar that I’d like to take a run at.

Still available?

I would still entertain selling it, but would need to move it before filing taxes.
