Artists who play instruments by this builder: Peter Janson, Al Petteway, Martin Simpson, Henrik Bridger
This is a very special custom Tippin Crescendo featuring a set of Brazilian Rosewood to die for. It's dark and rich with stunning grain. Bill selected on of his finest Adirondack Red Spruce tops for this instrument as well and together these woods make this one of the strongest and most versatile guitars you'll play. The appointments are ideal, first there's Bill Tippin's Goldburst top finish that is set off by the thin red perfling lines that surround fine abalone and Maple lines. Then there are curly Maple bindings on the body, neck and head. All this is capped off with a beautiful Brazilian Rosewood headplate and Brazilian Bridge as well. A superior Tippin guitar much like our own the one Al Petteway now plays for his main axe.

Player Reviews:
"When I spoke to Bill about this guitar he remembered it fondly. This is a highly custom Crescendo, 14 fret 000, that has been played enough to be fully alive. Anyone who knows guitars knows how good Brazilian and played-in Adirondack sound together. This is the classic wood combination and it really works on this Tippin. This guitar is expressive, authoritative and bold in tone but all the while beautiful as well. A stunning guitar." - Paul Heumiller
"This is a great sounding and great looking guitar. The Tippin crescendo is one of my favorite guitars and this one has been played enough to really open it up. The Brazilian Rosewood is exquisite. I wish I could buy this one." - Al Petteway
