Player Reviews:
"Larry Pattis is a recording artist with demanding taste in his instruments. In the late 90s he and his musical partner El McMeen were playing Tippin guitars extensively. This one was custom made for Larry as indicated on the label. At a concert I hosted for Larry and El they described to me the great clarity and balance that Bill Tippin's guitars offered them. This beautiful SJT certainly embodies those qualities and like all Tippins can also be driven hard. This is an excellent guitar for Celtic, Blues, Rags, Slide and more. Tippins are among the most versatile instrument being made and rising in value. This is a fine example complete with cutaway and pickup." - Paul Heumiller
