Ok, I'm crazy for this sale thread: Ryan Cathedral African Blackwood/Bosnian

[ericcsong]

EDIT: Price down to $15,700!

Ok, I'm very crazy for this thread, but I'm taking a risk on a Somogyi.

There, I said it. I thought I'd never sell this guitar. I have played a several dozen Ryans from all sorts of Brazilian to Signature series, and this is the one that spoke to me the most.

It is an African Blackwood/Bosnian Spruce combo. Matched with Kevin Ryan's biggest body, this one has HUGE HUGE TONE!

Guitar has Macassar ebony bevel with ebony bindings. Purflings were very simple with matching simple macassar rosette. No abalone on the guitar except parts of inlay and black dark Ryan symbol.

Guitar also has 12th fret rose inlay. Neck has also been dyed to match African Blackwood.

Comes with k&k mini and Seymour Duncan Magmic.

If you want a pendulum sps-1 with it, I can work out a deal with you.

Guitar is flawless and Mint condition. Also comes with Macassar ebony coutour tuners.

I have a few pics, but they aren't great. I will take more pics soon.

Many people on AGF can vouch for this guitar. I really hate to see this one go, but if I can get my asking price, I'm going to take a risk on this Somogyi.

If guitar doesn't sell, I'll be happy too

Scale 25.70"
Standard Nut Width 1.75"
String Spacing @ bridge 2.25"

This truly the best sounding guitar I have ever played. I hope someone who lives near me buys it!

Drool! Nice!!

Good luck on your sale, Eric.

So is one of the Omega's your Baritone that's still 'coming' as per your sig?

My definition of "dream guitar" has definitely been increasing the longer I play guitar. This guitar raises it even further.

Omega Baritone is on hold for a few. waiting on Kevin's health, but having good expectations!

Eric is the greatest to deal with. Show him some Somogyi love!

say it ain't so!

I have played this guitar, and let's just say it has changed my perception of "acoustic guitars."

bump up for a great friend.

Gorgeous guitar, good luck finding it special home!


ps: personal opinion, I wouldn't include that last photo. I'm sure it's just the camera angle, but the way the three guitars appear to be arranged in the photo, it looks like a slip and a ding waiting to happen.
