Here we have an exceptionally fine cedar top guitar from young Scottish luthier Ryan Gibson. Such talent in evidenced by the superior craft work and attention to detail. Of course it's the sound that matters and this guitar has a superlative voice. It is very even overall with a dark, rich tone. There's plenty volume, dynamics and colour thus making music on this guitar super easy. The beautiful lustre of the French polish gives it a quality finish.
