The 1997 Kevin Ryan Mission Grand Concert is an early example from Ryan’s Santa Cruz period, built as a 14-fret grand concert in natural finish. The guitar has a repaired side crack on the treble lower bout, internally cleated, along with a center seam crack repair stabilized by two maple cleats. The bridge has been reglued, with a small area of finish tear-away beneath the low E string professionally touched in to seal the surface. Cosmetically there is notable wear throughout with many small finish dings. Includes Cedar Creek hard shell case.
