I recall sitting with Martin Simpson as he told Bill Tippin that he makes the best OMs on the planet. We have heard ’em all and Bill’s are terrific. The combination of 30 years of experience, a great ear and great hands are what make Bill’s instruments special. This OMT features rare Salmon Crate Sitka Spruce, that was salvaged from the famous Salmon Crate that had been submerged for years. It is perfectly quartered and very silky. This is a versatile guitar that can handle many styles and is responsive to a light touch.
A well crafted OM is a very versatile guitar that can be charming and sweet and also powerful and strong. This Tippin OM can cover a lot of ground. I particularly like the sweet voice of the Salmon Crate Spruce that gives this one a sensitive side, although it's happy to play the blues as well. Great guitar, and with Bill's entry level pricing at $8600 now this is a real value as well. 
I don't often get to play an older Tippin guitar and it's good to know that he has been building great guitars for a while now. This is the perfect OM sound and the Salmon Crate Sitka top makes all the difference. | Scale Length | 25.4000 in |
