The first of our Dream Series from Bill Tippin never even made it to our website. That's no surprise considering that this Series features extremely rare “old growth” Brazilian and gem quality Opal inlay, but it’s the tone that sets it apart. Built upon Bill’s Crescendo body shape, it boasts a voice that’s strong and clear. As its name implies, it’s a very loud guitar, but each note is full of rich character. The appointments are breath-taking and include “gem quality” Opal inlay, Bloodwood bindings, hand-made Koa top trim and a custom Brazilian bridge. This guitar is the perfect mix of power and beauty.

Player Reviews:
"Our goal for this series was to allow Bill to take his resent designs to the highest level. To that end we asked for “master grade” Brazilian Rosewood and exclusive appointments. Bill has exceeded our expectations. Everywhere you look on this guitar you see another fine detail. I find the voice of this particular guitar extremely inspiring and truly complete. Bill’s trebles are always a strong point and they are joined here with a big but controlled bass. The balance is superb. The playability among the best you’ll find. And the look...Stunning." - Paul Heumiller
