This incoming guitar was spec'd live on our Talking Guitar podcast with Ryan Gerber, and will feature a Maple for the back and sides with a Master Swiss Moon Spruce top. The build is scheduled to complete in 2021 and can be pre-ordered today.
The RL15+ is an evolution of Ryan Gerber's RL15 model. It is characterized by the same shape and contours, with a slightly wider lower bout and longer body. With the increase in the volume of the soundbox, comes a slightly lower fundamental tone, and more volume. The basic construction, layout, bracing, etc, is otherwise identical to the RL15.
A beautiful balanced and charismatic instrument, it leaves you oodles of headroom and a gorgeous overtone overhang that lasts for days. Crisp and clean in the highs with a sweet nest to the mids and low end. Ryan's guitars have a signature voice that truly sets them apart, they sit perfectly with a vocal or a crowded band environment but truly excel in solo fingerstyle pieces. A masterful all-rounder.
