SOLD 2004 Tippin Crescendo: Bill Tippin is redefining himself these days. He's created several new body shapes and as a result the demand for Tippin has reached an unprecedented level. So we are thrilled to have a preowned Crescendo to offer you. This is Bill's modernized 000 design. Named the Crescendo for it's big bark, this guitar has serious projection.

  • Comments:"I've long been impressed by Tippin 000s. They have some of the sweetest treble strings you'll hear and that tight crisp 000 bass snap. With the Crescendo Bill Tippin takes it up a notch and gives us 14 frets to the body at the same time. New bracing adds even more bark, projection and bass response. The modernized rounded shape is sleek & refined. Tippin appointments these days are also raising the bar like the subtle maple/snakewood rosette, 1st fret flame and Tippin designed bridge. This is a small body guitar that doesn't know it is one." - Paul H.
