Players, like our own Al Petteway, have chosen Tippin Guitars for their strong tone, perfect playability and impeccable craftsmanship. This is one of the early Crescendos, Bill wonderful design of a 14 fret 000. The goal was retain the power and punch of a 000 but give it more balance and of course a longer 14 fret board. Bill's Crescendo has become his most popular model. This gorgeous Santa Maria Mahogany body Crescendo offers a strong voice with clarity and power to spare, but pull back and you get shimmering beauty as well.

Player Reviews:
"Bill Tippin is building a guitar for me as we speak and I can't wait. Everytime I play one it's clear that he is a builder that has reached the highest level of the game and found his own voice. The Tippin sound leans toward tradition but adds modern clarity, versatility and impeccable craftsmanship. This Santa Maria Mahogany Crescendo is strong and the spruce top is open. It comes to us from a Pro Player/Collector and is ready to be your Tippin Guitar." - Paul Heumiller
"This has all of the best characteristics of the best mahogany 000 or OM guitars plus it's a Tippin. It's clear and precise with a nice balance across the frequency spectrum. The neck feels great too. " - Al Petteway
