You probably have never seen Birdseye Brazilian so be sure to check this one out. It is a very rare set of Brazilian that is truly birdseye figure. It's also tight grained and produces a bell-like tone with bass notes like a piano. Bill's Crescendo design is a slightly oversized 000 but given a full 14 frets so you have no limitations. This is also a wonderfully collectible Tippin, but trust us, you'll want to play it everyday...

Player Reviews:
"The Birdseye Brazilian Rosewood here is insanely beautiful and extremely rare. You just don't see this kind of wood very often. It clearly adds to the voice that is rich, clear and brilliant all at once. Nothing is missing and it's a great recording guitar. Don't miss this rare and special Tippin." - Paul Heumiller
"This is a classy box with it's birdseye Brazilian rosewood and Carpathian spruce. The tone is clear and focused with a nice presence in the midrange." - Al Petteway
