Rick Turner Model 1
Rick Turner · electric guitar
The Rick Turner Model One is a hand-built semi-hollow electric guitar featuring solid mahogany construction with a maple set-neck and multilaminate design. The 24.75 inch scale, 12 inch fingerboard radius, and 1 11/16 inch nut width enable a comfortable C-shaped neck profile. The Model One's distinctive feature is a rotating pickup that emphasizes lows on bass strings or highs on treble strings. The guitar is equipped with hot-wound, hum-canceling pickups available in passive configuration or with optional 18-volt D-TAR Eclipse preamp offering 3-12dB adjustable gain. Played clean, the tone is incredibly acoustic and detailed; with volume pushed, it screams with extended sustain and natural harmonic content.
