There is no other
guitar like this anywhere, The Complex Body Curve & Cylindrical Conical
Radiused top & back are trademarks and patent's that are only now pending. Rick
built these guitars for 30 years before he was able to figure out a way to
patent it.
The design eliminates standing waves and puts this guitar at the very top of the
heap sonically. I would normally doubt this guitar if I only had pictures.
Having played and owned one of these amazing guitars for almost 15 years I must
say " I am overwhelmed by the overtones" "I am suspended by the sustain"
Ooops I might be getting a little to flowery here, I am at a loss for words on
this instrument. (I'm not used to being at a loss for words, believe
me)
To all of you with all your hundred thousand dollar 59 Les Pauls that are
looking for the ultimate blooming notes, I say you must try this guitar.
This guitar is retro and it's not retro. This guitar employs the laws of
physics, resonance and electronics in a very futuristic scientific way. Yet
according to George Gruhn it looks like an electric guitar from the 1800's.

The complex curvature eliminates the standing waves and lets the beautiful tone
ring out in it's place.

The screw in the middle is for removing the pickup system
The Rick Turner Model One (Lindsey Buckingham Model) is my favorite guitar tonally out of
everything I sell.
This is due to the built in active parametric equalizer & Rick Turner's genius
at designing pickups. Rick has developed a way for this guitar to eliminate
standing waves by building the body with a complex convex curvature.
