Player Reviews:
"This is without a doubt one of the very finest guitars I've had the pleasure of playing. I spent several hours playing it when it arrived and got swept away in the sumptuous voice with it's rich bass and lyrical trebles. The fan frets scales are perfect and versatile easily supporting Standard, DADGAD and beyond. Bill's craftsmanship is among the very best in the world. We can't wait for the next one!" - Paul Heumiller
"Bill Tippin has done it again. This is so much like the one that I bought a while back that I would buy it too if I could. The fan frets give that extra length in the bass that is great for lower tunings. The woods on this one are exquisite and the sound is perfectly balanced across the entire frequency spectrum. I believe Bill has hit on something with his new design and I can't wait to hear more." - Al Petteway
