The guitar finally arrived, right on schedule, and I am very happy with it. Specific details to follow, but here are some pics.













A great companion for the Peregrine

Wow, there's no skimping on that one! Congrats!

Beautiful! Did RT sign the back of the headstock before he passed away?

The wood is just gorgeous - a stunning example of new.

Beautiful and strange all at the same time. Mikey likes it! Congrats Andrew.

I don’t know, but I assume not, and that it’s a decal.

I like the string-thru-body bridge with the string block. G&L used to use string blocks before going to individual ferrules like a Tele.

I really want to know how that sounds plugged in.

 

[awagner]

It sounds fantastic. It is a DTAR that takes 2 9-volt batteries.

I am just starting to play around with it, but the tone knob actually helps shape the sound, whereas most tone knobs on other guitars just make the sound muddy if you engage it.

Here is a sample (not from me)

Nice. I don't expect to find a Turner guitar in , my price range, but I can still window shop.

They confirmed that his signature is a decal, and that they used a decal even when he was alive.

Nice! Sounds great! I've been jonesin' for a Turner Model 1.
