The Tippin Crescendo design has become a huge favorite among players seeking a voice that is at once beautiful and powerful. This custom Crescendo features the rare Santa Maria, Cuban Mahogany which is revered for its density which adds sustain and control to the mahogany tone. It's an amazing tonewood that seems to possess the best quality of Mahogany but with articulation and clarity more like a rosewood. The crescendo has the snappy, powerful bass that Tippin is regarded for. This is a guitar that has the power of a 000 but more versatility and 14 frets for full access.

Player Reviews:
"Cuban Mahogany is a favorite of mine. It offers the power of mahogany but with more rosewood-like focus and sustain. It's very rare and is a wonderful upgrade on this guitar. The tone is roaring and strong, great for blues to celtic. Tippins can get very sweet as well when played gently. The custom maple/snakewood trim and rosette are stunning and this beauty is in perfect condition." - Paul Heumiller
"I like the size of the guitar and it's strong focused tone. A perfect recording guitar." - Al Petteway
