What We Think

Condition: Used, Very Good

SP Luthier Notes: A majority of frets showed evidence of play wear. As such, the frets were leveled, recrowned, and polished back to a near mint state. The guitar required an adjustment to the truss rod, nut, and bridge to be brought to a perfect level of playability.(A) Minor dent(s) present on the guitar required our luthier to fill, color match, and refinish the area massively improving the cosmetics of the guitar. The instrument was then buffed and cleaned, and no further work was required.

Get ready to have your mind blown, because the Ryan Thorell Gianina Nylon Archtop is an absolute game-changer in the guitar world! This isn't just some ordinary instrument; it's a total "unicorn" that masterfully blends the rich, warm soul of a classical nylon string guitar with the powerful, articulate punch of a jazz archtop. Seriously, this beauty is so incredibly loud and clear, people often do a double-take and think you're playing a steel-string guitar! It's crafted with the most premium, aged woods, like stunning figured maple for the back and sides and resonant Sitka spruce for the top, all coming together in a super unique, proprietary construction that gives it a vibrant, "old world tone". This guitar isn't just built; it's a piece of art that sounds absolutely incredible, delivering a "woodsy" and "mellow" vibe that can also "bite" when you dig in. It's designed to give you the best of both worlds, making it a truly special instrument for anyone who loves amazing sound and killer craftsmanship! Don't miss this one!
