Ryman Auditorium and Washburn partner on exclusive guitar projectRyman Auditorium and Washburn partner on exclusive guitar projectNo other venue is known more for its rich musical heritage than the historic Ryman Auditorium. From its sacred halls as the Union Gospel Tabernacle, to its hallowed walls as a world-class performance hall and later home of the Grand Ole Opry, the Ryman Auditorium has seen and heard more than a century of prayers and performances. The venue has embraced millions of followers who have witnessed an entertainment history like no other. This unique musical legacy has now been captured into a spectacular creation – The Ryman Limited Edition Acoustic Guitar. This limited-edition guitar has been crafted by Washburn International from a select number of original Ryman church pews. The pews were salvaged from the 1992 renovation of the Ryman by Gaylord Entertainment. The thin-line Acoustic Guitar is limited to only 243 handcrafted, numbered editions and carries an historical resonance that tributes the heritage of the past and the spirit of the future. "There are many aspects of the Ryman Auditorium that are cherished,” says Steve Buchanan, President of the Grand Ole Opry Group. “I believe that with the Ryman guitar we are tying together two of the most storied: the rich musical heritage and the simple, yet beautiful oak pews. This is an incredible way for someone to now and forever share in the Ryman legacy." The limited edition guitar was unveiled today at a Ryman Auditorium reception. The reception featured representatives from Washburn International and Gaylord Entertainment as well as members of the Grand Ole Opry. The reception coincided with the International Music Product Association’s annual Summer Session in Nashville. Washburn International, based in Chicago, has been a leading manufacturer in the guitar industry since 1883. With a history of infusing the radical with the traditional, Washburn was the perfect choice to partner with the Ryman Auditorium on this unique project. The guitars were tooled in its prestigious Custom Shop using only the highest quality materials and hardware to compliment the Ryman wood. “The chance to work with these materials is a real thrill,” said Larry English, Vice President of Manufacturing and Marketing at Washburn. “It’s not often that you get the chance to create a new instrument with the inherent tone of a vintage one, but it has happened here.” Each guitar is handcrafted and unique from the Ryman’s oak pews. As musical instruments they project more than sound – they carry an historical resonance that tributes the heritage of the past and the spirit of the future. To enhance the legacy of the project, each guitar will be shipped to customers with century-old nails removed from the original Ryman pew that became each guitar. The Ryman Limited Edition Acoustic Guitar is available for purchase while supplies last. For additional information or to place an order, please call 615-742-0105. Progressive Partners, Inc. of Nashville, Tennessee are coordinating production management and sales of the Ryman Guitar.
