From the reviews

I’m a gigging musician and I own two of Terry’s Whipple Creek guitars. They are a joy to play and both are sonic masterpieces. I own several Martins and Taylors and have played my Whips next to Collings dreads and 000s. The Whips always stand out.

Mr. Whipple built me a truly fantastic '30's-spec D-18 a few years back that is my favorite of all the dreadnoughts I've ever played, hands-down. Looking forward to decades of playing it. The craftsmanship is superb, and I am confident his repair work is as good as his building.

★★★★★ — A, Aug 2025

Terry at Whipple Creek Guitars performed a neck reset on my Martin HD-28. He did a great job. The guitar plays much better and it improved the overall tone and volume. Great work at a fair price.
