- Comments: “Bill Tippin continues
to make guitars that surpass many tonally. In just a few minutes
on this OMT you'll know what I mean. It has it all, power, presence,
subtlety and warmth. In that past year he's been more creative
than ever introducing gorgeous handmade wood top trim and rosettes
for a more natural elegance. This one employees Pernambuco,
famous for use on fiddle bows, as the binding and Bridge material.
This guitar was a show stopper at Healdsburg with many players
taken by it's beauty, but it's the tone that will make you smile!
If you are looking for an outstanding OM, look no further.”
