Darren Hippner (2025)

Brand new 2025 Darren Hippner classical guitar featuring a red spruce top and Florida rosewood back and sides—a beautiful and highly resonant tonewood combination rarely seen at this price point. Handmade by Hippner, this instrument delivers a bright, clear voice with strong projection, surprising depth, and excellent playability.

With a 52 mm nut and 650 mm scale, the guitar is comfortable for both students and experienced players. The neck shape and setup make it easy to play, and the tone is open, lively, and responsive across all registers.

This is an excellent choice for:

* students upgrading from factory-built instruments

* adult beginners

* intermediate and advanced players seeking a handmade guitar

* seasoned players wanting a reliable second instrument
