What We Think

Condition: Used, Excellent

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. A high quality bookmatched top is nothing new, but bookmatched sides are a feature unique to this model 1 that add another layer of luxury to the instrument. 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 before it's gone!

Manufacturer's Description from Other

Features the C+ pickup option including the Rick Turner Humbucker, Eclipse Active Preamp, Piezo pickup and Rick Turner Semi Parametric EQ. Ever since Lindsey Buckingham took delivery of #79-003, the Model One guitar has been highly sought after for its combination of Old World aesthetics and modern, full-bodied tonal range. Played clean, it sounds incredibly acoustic and detailed. But when the volume kicks up, it screams louder and longer than any guitar you've played... without unwanted feedback or breakup.
