VV: ONE OFF Hippner Dreadnought acoustic guitar 40-year old top, HSC, REDUCED

Before reading the description of this item, I urge you to first check out my Ebay Seller Feedback. As you will see, my feedback is not only 100% positive--it's over-the-top giddy, a number noting not only the instrument's quality but also my integrity and knowledge and objectivity.  I never disappoint.  (To find out why buyers again and again describe my sells as "best experience I've ever had on Ebay," skip the description and see the WHAT I DO section at the end of the listing.)
*******************
MAKE OFFER!  This is one guitar you can't lose on.  If you follow my auctions, you know I never offer returns (if you read my feedback you'll see why--don't need to) but this and its brother (also listed) are both offered as returnable:  If you buy with good intent (to own, not just to "try it out") and don't want to keep, ship it back insured to the same amount I'll insure it to you, no problem. 
But you won't:  These are the two best steel string guitars I've ever played, acoustically way bigger sounders than anything within thousands offered by Bourgeois, Collings, Santa Cruz, Martin, etc--makers producing dreads to which these would logically be compared. You'll never play a guitar better-suited for recording. 

One has a Koa body and is listed separately.  This listing is for the Indian rosewood body.   

Wood:  All solid, obviously.  Top is highly figured Sitka cut in 1976; you'll never see wood like this anywhere, even from the aforementioned boutique makers.  Body is wild Indian; binding binding is Koa and maple; fretboard, bridge are ebony; headstock face is Brazilian.

Details:  Deluxe Gold Gotoh tuners; ebony bridge pins with MOP studs; bone nut and saddle; light nitro finish.   

Case for both is new TKL 8815 with textured tolex archtop, with combination lock, plush interior ($225).   

Everything about these guitars is meant to enhance the great advantage Darren brings to his work which can be said of hardly any other great builders of steel string guitars:  20 years becoming a master of classical and flamenco guitars.  For example, the Koa guitar, unlike most of its competitors, is extremely well-built without being overbraced; in fact, it's quite light, easy on the back and extremely comfortable to play. (The Indian is identically braced but, due to the weight of the body wood, a bit heavier.) 

Sound:  The Koa has that rarest of grails--lots of piano AND lots of organ.  Clear but condensed across the spectrum; immense halos; great volume, bell-like sustain, perfect intonation--yeah, all that, but still something else very hard to articulate; pearly.   

The Indian is very similar, but more piano, perhaps a tad more articulate. Both are lush without being vulgar; despite the thickness of the notes, still extremely articulate.  Playing both, I feel that I'm inside a big bronze bell. Both would make astonishing, distinct recorders.

Low action; pro set up with extremely expensive Thomastik Plectrum AC112 strings ($25), which most fully capture this instrument's depth, clarity and color.   Hooked up to a ToneRite 3 for 200+ hours to open up the top, but, trust me, doesn't need it--sounded like a cathedral right out of the case.

This one is priced slightly below that of the Koa, which has a couple more expensive details, but, acoustically, I would them as equal--but different.  You will almost certainly never experience another steel string guitar like either.  

Feel free to inquire about these and other great guitars--and, once again, I urge you to check out my Seller Feedback:  706-372-4310.

WHAT I DO
For over a decade, I have searched out guitars of every conceivable sort, always looking for the unique instrument, especially those that are, 1.) great deals;  and/or 2.) possessed of real character.  I take care to ensure that each guitar is set up and playable as is--new strings, action as described, NO ISSUES:  If you get it from me, it's ready to play out of the box.  My prices are always competitive, usually well below what a similar instrument comparably set up would sell for elsewhere.  A few typical Ebay feedbacks (some from repeat buyers):
