DR Hippner Dreadnought

This splendid Dreadnought was crafted by luthier Darren Hippner in 2014.  Featuring the traditional style X bracing and scalloped tonebars, Darren R. Hippner builds his guitars himself in his one man shop.  There are no associates, apprentices, students, or employees.  Every Hippner guitar is handcrafted by Darren alone using primarily hand tools and satisfying Darren’s four core principles:

Design

Craftsmanship

Materials

Finish

Darren handcrafts all of his instruments himself, using basic wood shop machinery and hand tools. By working alone, he has total control over every phase of building and can produce more consistently fine musical instruments. He maximizes the potential of each piece of wood by voicing the wood and shaping the thickness graduations individually using touch, feel & tap-tones, the same way old master Italian violin luthiers and master Spanish guitar luthiers worked.
