Here we have a 2006 Tippin DST in Sitka Spruce and Brazilian Rosewood. This is a rare body size for Bill, usually we see smaller fingerstyle sized guitars from him. Seeing a bold slope shoulder dread come out of the Tippin workshop is a real treat. This is the most sophisticated slope shoulder dread you are ever likely to see, the appointments are nothing short of perfection and exactly what we expect from Bill. Tonally this is one of the loudest Tippins we have had in the shop in some time, and that’s while excelling at both fingerpicking and flatpicking. The voice is lush and articulate with a controlled presence on every string.

This is as good as it gets for me in the dread world. You can fingerpick it, flatpick it, and it even strums like a dream.
Sign me up! After what I thought was only a few minutes' play time, I looked up and half an hour had passed. Here's one to lose track of time with. The voice is wiiiide awake and expressive, strong balance of individual note definition and blending across the strings.
Big dread sound with fingerstyle clarity and fingerboard dimensions. This is a great guitar that can do it all!
