Player Reviews:
"This is very simply and honestly one of the top 10 guitars I've ever had the pleasure to hear and to play. Bill Tippin has long been a favorite of ours but this is just not fair, what an amazing tone and the design and craftsmanship are unparalleled. - Paul Heumiller" - Paul Heumiller
"There are only a few guitars I've played in my lifetime that I would consider putting my name on and this is the first to have it. It's extremely elegant and has some beautiful and unique design elements, but the sound is the thing. It is responsive and balanced and sounds perfect all the way up the neck. The beveled cutaway makes it feel totally comfortable playing up past the body and the armrest bevel makes it a joy to hold for long periods. Bill Tippin has really nailed it with this new model and I'm proud to be associated with it. - Al Petteway" - Al Petteway
