"This guitar [Bill] made for me is absolutely magnificent - I am so pleased with it. I think we have done a great thing here." Martin Simpson

"I had the extreme pleasure of playing the guitar Bill made for Martin for a month before I had to begrudgingly send it to Martin in England. It was such a joy to play and had a rich sonic voice that stayed with me in any style." Paul Heumiller

Specifications:

The MS model has a unique A-symmetrical bracing pattern plus several other integral changes that makes this MS model different from Tippin's standard 000T12-C. The voicing of the tone brings out brilliant highs definable mids coupled with a full bass. All in a formula that's still very balanced from top to bottom with great sustain and volume to spare.

All Signature models include:
