From 2007, a Bill Tippin Staccato in Mahogany and Sitka Spruce. This is his modern take on the traditional Parlor or 0-sized guitar. It’s the perfect body style for the player seeking a comfortable, easy-playing guitar without sacrificing tone. Like every Tippin, the Staccato boasts a big voice, strong projection, as well as depth and complexity. This beautiful guitar features very rare Cuban Mahogany (Swietenia mahogani), the densest type of Mahogany, known for its fine, rich texture. Its density provides greater sustain and a more complex tone compared to Honduran Mahogany. Bill topped it with rare Salmon Spruce, which was submerged for many years and exhibits more silking than you can imagine. Silking, or medullary rays, indicates that the wood is perfectly quarter-sawn and demonstrates its tensile strength.

I’ve had the privilege of knowing Bill Tippin for many years, and every instrument he builds carries his unmistakable touch. This Staccato from 2007 is a shining example of his craftsmanship, and I can’t help but reflect on how much it has grown in character over time. The Mahogany has mellowed beautifully, and the Salmon Spruce top, after years of playing, has opened up in ways only age can bring. The guitar sings with a rich complexity and depth that wasn’t there when it was new, making it even more special today. Bill always had a way of crafting guitars that improve with age, and this one is a testament to that. 
This Tippin Staccato is exactly what you’d expect from Bill Tippin’s legendary craftsmanship. From the moment you pluck the strings, you can feel the energy resonating through the entire instrument. The Cuban Mahogany adds that unique sustain and tonal complexity, while the Salmon Spruce top, with all its gorgeous silking, creates a rich, vibrant voice. | Scale Length | 24.9 in |
