This instrument was custom made by Bill Tippin for the current owner. It was modeled after a Martin 12-string that Bill had in his shop that he says was the best sounding 12-string he’d ever heard. This one-of-a-kind Tippin 12-string features the more traditional appointments of an old Martin with the addition of some highly unusual and rare birdseye Brazilian rosewood for the back and sides. From where we sit, this Tippin is simply one of the best sounding 12 strings you’ll ever find, it’s extraordinary…

I agree with Al 100%, this is one of those amazing guitars that we see from time to time. I've never heard such a balanced and beautiful sounding 12 string, period. The birdseye Brazilian is superb!
This is by far the best sounding and playing 12-string I've ever had the pleasure of holding in my hands. Bill Tippin really nailed it on this one and the woods are outrageous.
