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 is a brand new guitar straight from the Rick Turner Guitars workshop. The Special CP model features the full electronics package including a piezo pickup and a blend control. The guitar is finished in a burgundy gloss and includes a TKL hardshell case.
