  • Comments:"This is one of those guitars that is one in million. If I could, I would own this one. The crescendo is Bill Tippin's own design and it surpasses most other guitars in this size range. The frequencies are perfectly balanced and the volume seems endless. This one's a keeper." Al Petteway

    "Curly figure rarely happens in Brazilian Rosewood so Bill was thrilled to find this wood a few years back. It's not only gorgeous and unique but it sounds amazing, like an much older guitar. Tonally this is a special one, the bass is somehow bigger and more open, no doubt a result of the particular sets of wood used here. Bill's most popular design, outfitted with stunning appointments. As Al says, a keeper!" - Paul Heumiller
