This is a stunning guitar from Bill Tippin with master grade Madagascar Rosewood and Carpathian Spruce. It is bound with the dynamic Snakewood and the top purfling is uniquely crafted from German Marquetry which is also echoed in the back strip. The Snakewood headplate and first fret flame inlay combine with the Brazilian bridge for an elegant, understated beauty. The tone, as the name suggests, is loud and strong. The projection and sustain of this guitar is outstanding. Beauty and a little beast.

Player Reviews:
"Players who love the power of a 000 but need a more versatile voice love Bill's Crescendo design. It's lineage is clearly from the 000 but it has modern curves, a 14 fret neck and can handle many a genre. The pairing of Carpathian Spruce, which has a lot of Adirondack qualities, and Madagascar Rosewood gives this guitar richness and purity to go with it's power. A complete package." - Paul Heumiller
"This is an incredibly well balanced guitar with great dynamic range. A very satisfying guitar." - Al Petteway
