2020 Darren Hippner Shivam Acoustic Guitar Luthier Sitka Spruce OM Auditorium Model Waverly OHSC USA

Offered is a Hippner Shivam OM Auditorium Acoustic Guitar with hardshell case. Boutique built by luthier Darren Hippner in 2020. If you're looking at this, then you know that Hippner instruments are the real deal, and occasionally fetch $3~5K+ thru connoisseur shops like Dream Guitars. This one features a solid Sitka Spruce top with Indian Shivam back and sides, exotic snakewood board and trim, MOP inlays, Brazillian Rosewood faceplates, bone nut and saddle, ebony pins, and top of the line Waverly ebony tuners. The tone is bold, clear, and articulate - a fingerstyle player's dream. This was from a small batch of Indian tonewood OM acoustics that Hippner built during the 2020 lockdowns. Handcrafted USA quality throughout, with light luthier blems as can be expected with artisanal builds, including a patched pickup route on the waist bout as per the luthier (see all pics). Please review all photos carefully as they're an integral part of the item description.
