The New Helion Series
Ricardo Cobo says
“I’m loving the guitar and its complex sound”.
“The raised fingerboard and quick response make it a joy to play”.
“It’s very similar to my spruce Humphrey, however it has thicker trebles and is easier to play”
“The more I play this guitar the more it coalesces and focuses the sound. It has opened up and become noticeably louder today. The sound is spectacular”.
“There is certainly positive agreement among us that these guitars present a completely different level of response.”
“What a pleasure to play this guitar”.
James Manuele says
“My instrument must change as I play it, as a conversation will change between two people. This new series of Hippner guitars does just that.”
“The accessibility and intonation of these guitars are great.”
Foti Lycouridis says
“…it is a remarkable guitar.”
“The voices are very separate, almost like a piano, both trebles and basses are clear and focused and the mid range has a complete character of its own.”
