The Tippin Bravado is one of those rare guitar designs that excel at just about anything you ask of it. This guitar is superb for fingerstyle with it's full, lush voice and has 'SJ' sized bass response. Flatpickers and strummers will also love the Bravado, it has the power and brilliance to support those styles of play as well. This Bravado has an amazing set of old growth Brazilian Rosewood and is paired with a superbly grained German Top. A Brazilian bridge and headplate along with a full compliment of curly Maple bindings make this is an understated stunner as well.

Player Reviews:
"I've always been a fan of Bill's Bravado design. It's one of those guitars that gives you a lot of power but maintains clarity and balance. Not an easy thing to do but Bill has over 25 years of experience and he knows the craft. Tippin guitars also feature some of the best playability you'll find, Bill takes great pride in his fretwork and setup. The photos of the back show you how amazing the set of Brazilian is, but take from us it's even better in person. The German top is master grade and beautiful. This is simply one of the most versatile guitars you'll find and it's in like new condition ready for some serious play time." - Paul Heumiller
"This is an amazing sounding instrument. With it's size, it still maintains a crispness and clarity while adding in a nice firm bass fundamental. It sounds like a piano at times." - Al Petteway
