If we ever got a guitar from Bill Tippin which didn’t completely blow us away, we might need to hang up our hats and quit the business. Lucky for us (and you), that’s simply not the case: a Tippin guitar is incapable of sounding anything less than stunning. The Crescendo we’ve got here is proof of that. Custom-built for one of our clients, if it’s a feature Bill offers, you’ll find it on this guitar. From the asymetrical swooping soundport and arm rest bevel to Bill’s gorgeous two-piece Honduran Mahogany-and-Ebony carved neck block and Mother-Of-Pearl adorning every surface, this is a guitar which looks as amazing as it plays. Our client requested the best of the best, so Bill used a chocolate-dark set of Brazilian Rosewood for the back and sides and a creamy moon-harvested billet of Swedish Spruce for the top, which when combined produce a voice which has resounding depth, surgically precise seperation between the strings, and trebles with huge presence and unflagging sustain. All of that rich, fearsome tone has been gracefully bound up in an elegant display of Mother-Of-Pearl across the headstock, Ebony fretboard, Blackwood trim, African Blackwood rosette, and bridge pins. Fingerstyle or flatpicked, this Crescendo is more than capable to turn the simplest melody into a lush concerto.

One of the best perks of this job is getting to connect great players with equally great builders--just to see what they can brew up together. I can say with confidence that this is one of the best Tippins I've ever played, and that's saying something.
I am a bit biased here, but this guitar is nearly perfect in every way. No frequencies stand out and it has lots of headroom for extra volume and punch. In fact, just playing it lightly, it is still louder than any other guitar of its size I've played. The woods are beautiful and the workmanship is flawless. I still think you can't do better for a fingerstyle guitar. I was originally drawn to this guitar because it had all of the qualities of a good classical guitar but with the sparkle and clarity of a steel string. Perfect for fingerstyle players who are serious about their playing.
