It’s guitars like this 2005 Tippin Crescendo in Cuban Mahogany and Adirondack Spruce that gets us going in the morning. A livewire of a guitar that practically hums all by itself in the case, this gorgeous piece of luthierin’ by Bill Tippin is a dangerous player. Not only is the setup glassy and smooth, not only do the treble strings cut like a freshly honed knife, not only does it handle picks and fingertips with aplomb—this Crescendo does it all with style. And clarity. And that delicious dry crunch you find in a really good Mahogany-and-Adirondack guitar.

Take it down to altered tuning town, and this Tippin croons like the natives. Flatpicking fiddletunes in standard feels just as easy. Honestly, it’s baffling how much musicality Bill can pack into a single guitar. This is one you won’t want to miss.

This is my kind of guitar: smaller body with big attitude. Cuban Mahogany is my favorite variety of Mahogany. There’s something about the way the tone leaves the body that I truly enjoy. Slightly more focused and less ‘woofy’ then Honduran, but still with a lot of punch. Bill Tippin is one of our greatest luthiers, so when he voices a top you get pure tones, great balance, and some extra juice that grabs your ear. A superb instrument.
