Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: A majority of frets showed evidence of play wear. As such, the frets were leveled, recrowned, and polished back to a near mint state. No further work was required.
If there's anyone who knew how to make a guitar that captures tradition while pushing the boundaries of modern guitar technology, it was Rick Turner. The Model 1 may be over 40 years old, but still boasts many features that only recently became commonplace. It's active preamp + Piezo pickup allow for incredible tonal variety and clarity you won't find elsewhere. In addition, the quality of the craftsmanship is simply stunning. This particular Model 1 Deluxe features an Inlaid Logo, Trapeze Tailpiece, and a rare chambering layout! If you want to know why Lindsey Buckingham still plays the model 1 to this day, call in now to speak to one of our guitar specialists!
