Player Reviews:
"This is a one-of-a-kind Tippin OMT custom built with the finest woods and rare Pernambuco trim. It gives it a wonderful look with the Pernambuco bringing out the reddish hues of the Brazilian Rosewood. The voice is stellar, all OM and all Tippin. Very versatile and rewarding to play. " - Paul Heumiller
"This guitar reminds me of some of the Martin OMs that I've played. Great strumming instrument and beautiful Brazilian rosewood." - Al Petteway
