Artists who play instruments by this builder: Peter Janson, Al Petteway, Martin Simpson, Henrik Bridger
For those who love a rosewood OM (and don't we all?), here's a fantastic Tippin. OMs are one of the most versatile models out there, offering balance, power and comfort. The word is out on Bill Tippin and he is now building for top players like our own Al Petteway and Paul Heumiller, as well as Peter Calo of Carly Simon's group. This one has a dual source B-Band pickup and a Calton Case. This is a great opportunity for the player seeking a traditional OM built to the highest standards at a very fair value.

Player Reviews:
"Bill has built a great guitar here. It's got the punch, warmth, and clarity that we're all looking for. This one responds particularly well when you dig in with your fingers or slap the bass strings a bit. Great fun and an even better value as it comes with a dual source pickup and a Calton case. Ready for the road..." - Paul Heumiller
"I'm of course a fan of Tippin guitars since I play one as my main guitar. This one is great, simply appointed, sweet and musical." - Al Petteway
"This is the first OM that I've played by Bill Tippin and it doesn't disappoint. It's a fingerstylist's dream, of course, but it also strums very well (without that strident thing that some OMs do). Single lines fly with this beautiful setup. The soft "V" neck is very comfortable. Classic but refined, minty but opened up and nicely played in. " - Al Schlimm
