The Model 1 is the greatest legacy of Rick Turner's impressive career.
A guitar built to satisfy the requirements of Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham in 1979 after a conversation ensued when Rick was servicing John McVie's Alembic basses, the Model 1 has undergone very few revisions from the guitar that Rick delivered to Lindsey in 1979.
Lindsey was looking for a guitar to combine what he liked about the Stratocaster and Les Paul so that he didn't have to tour with both. What has become synonymous with Lindsey's tone ever since is what is now known as the Model 1 C Deluxe, with full body binding, the Turner signature humbucker with active electronics and a semi-parametric EQ.
This premium Model 1 is a pre-owned instrument, built in 2021, and comes to us in mint. The back of the headstock was signed by Rick Turner himself, and the guitar includes its original TKL hardshell case.
