This Tippin 000-12T guitar was custom ordered by Award Winning Guitarist Martin Simpson at the time when Dream Guitars Owner Paul Heumiller was working closely with Martin, so we know this guitar intimately. Paul and Martin hand selected the woods in Bill’s shop and Martin chose the appointments and specs. The set of Cuban Mahogany is very rare and old and worth $3000 on it’s own. The top is a beautiful bearclaw European Spruce with great symmetry and very tight grain. There’s also a slotted headstock with Deco T inlay, matching fret markers, a full abalone top border, Fossil Ivory Pins, Martin’s favorite Highlander IP-1 pickup system and a Calton deluxe flight case. This is a rare chance to own a guitar custom built for Martin Simpson and broken in at his amazing fingertips.
The very day Martin and I met Bill Tippin Martin ordered this guitar. We spent hours in Bill Tippin's shop selecting the woods and appointments. Martin told Bill his 000s and OMs were simply some of the best he's ever played. We agree. This one has tone to spare, it's loud, strong and always musical. You can imagine any guitar Martin would own has to be able to pound out the blues or make you weep with a Irish Air. This treble strings are full and lyrical and the bass is strong and snappy. A perfect 000 with very rare and old Cuban Mahogany, my favorite Mahogany. Don't miss this collectible and seriously playable Tippin Guitar.New this guitar would be over $14000 as of this writing. 
This is a great guitar as you would expect if it was once owned by Martin Simpson. The smaller body size combined with the 12-fret neck and cutaway make it a perfect fingerstyle guitar. | Scale Length | 25.4000 in |
