Rick Turner Model 1 Baritone 1980, Natural

A remarkable instrument from the first full year of Rick Turner production, this Model 1 Baritone remains in museum-level condition. Sporting an incredibly low serial number, mahogany/maple/rosewood construction, Schaller tuning pegs, early Leo Quan bridge/tailpiece, and proprietary rotating low-impedance pickup, this instrument exemplifies the immediate and lasting build quality from a pioneering boutique manufacturer. Unsurprisingly, the combination of hardware, fit, and finish make for an instrument that rings out with an inspiring feel and clarity in all registers. It's a simple, elegant design with undeniable significance in the history of modern guitar production. Includes non-original HSC.
