This is the Dream Series that started it all! In 2007 Bill and Paul collaborated on spec’ing out #1 with African Blackwood back and sides and Cedar on top, the result of which is a voice equal parts chocolate rich and crystalline clarity. Such a powerhouse combination, and in Bill’s Crescendo body to make the playing experience oh so comfortable to boot. Opal inlays at the first fret and at the tail, plus Snakewood appointments and a Brazilian Rosewood bridge, combine with Bill’s sense of curve for a gorgeous viewing experience (on those rare moments you won’t be playing this one). Setup is excellent for fingerstyle play, and it loves tuning down to D and even C territory. There’s even a K&K Pure Mini pickup to carry you onto the stage! And a Calton case for safe keeping.
This beauty has opened up fantastically in the intervening years, and we’re so grateful to visit with it again. 2007 Tippin Dream Series #1! Get it while you can.
