SOLD.
Reluctantly selling my outstanding Tippin Dreadnought constructed around 2000.
Back and sides: Gorgeous Kahya mahogany. Its appearance changes depending on the viewing angle – from some light one can see the latticed grain and deep striping from others.
Top: Adirondack spruce with wonderful character.
Neck: Glossy smooth full V with a hand-applied stain finishing in a dart at the headstock.
Fretboard: Rich black ebony that seamlessly blends into the neck. Pearl and abalone arrow markers.
Bridge and pins: Ebony
Nut and saddle: Bone
Purfling, soundhole ring headstock veneer: Ivaroid and rosewood
Case: Six latch deluxe TKL
Measurements: 1 ¾” nut, 2 5/16” spring spacing E to E at the saddle.
The sound is extremely clear, with more depth and volume than is usually associated with mahogany-backed guitars. I am the original owner of the guitar, and live near Bill’s shop. In January of 2014, Bill executed the following improvement on this guitar:
- Refret
- Shim nut
- Re-rout saddle
- New saddle
- Re-voice braces
- Install strap button
- Pencil sign label
- Polish
The guitar looks practically new. I’m selling to raise funds, end of story – no trade offers, please. Aggressively priced at $4,250, including Paypal fees and ground shipping in the CONUS.
