Description

Maybe it's in the Atlantic coastal air up in Marblehead. Perhaps it's in a boat builder's eye for functional design. Whatever the source of the mojo, Bill Tippin's 000T has managed to find that elusive sonic space between vintage depth and resonance, and modern, vibrant responsiveness. At twenty three years young, this a big-sounding 12-fret 000 with an engaging, mature voice, and a simultaneously clear and throaty midrange.  A lovely, wide-grained spruce top pairs with mahogany back and sides, while a generous, soft- and wide-V neck profile feels great under the fretting hand. Overall condition is very good, with some light pick wear below the soundhole and an added strap button in the bass side above the heel. A great example of Tippin's sound and vibe.
