2015 Turner 1C-LB Lindsay Buckingham with optional piezo blend, sweepable parametric eq with 12db boost / cut and humbucking / coil split. Comes with OHSC, owner's manual, folder and COA. This is an exquisite, highly versatile, easy playing work of art. It's solid mahogany body obviously pays homage to the Les Paul but the array of electronics hide a Strat, Tele, amplified acoustic and more all rolled in to one guitar. The tonal options are mind boggling. First, you have a position adjustable humbucker - meaning you can actually turn the hand wound Bartolini pickup to brighten up the top strings or dull the bottom strings or vice versa... Then you have the ability to engage a parametric eq, split the coils, blend in some piezo, apply up to 12 db of boost or cut to any frequency band and you still have the traditional volume and tone pot. While every other guitar uses the volume and tone pot for tone adjustments, it now seems like a poor man's solution when compared to what this guitar offers! The Bartolini ceramic magnet pickup is crystal clear. Not much volume is needed to sit nicely in the mix. String separation couldn't be better. There's a reason that Lindsay Buckingham uses this guitar for his fingerstyle songs like "Never Going Back Again". The note definition is as good as you'll ever hear. The neck is slightly wider to accommodate complex chording. While there's no doubt this an electric guitar - and it plays like one. There's also a nice feel for digging in as you would playing a steel stringed acoustic guitar. I ran the piezo blend in to my Avalon U5 DI and then in to our A&H GLD board at our rehearsal space. It was the best and loudest acoustic tone I've ever had. I could easily keep up with our drummer - and then some. My favorite setting is 80% magnetic / 20% acoustic with the coil split activated and the parametric eq on with a little sweep in the low mids. It's a nice Tele sound but a little heavier. The tonal options are endless. The weight is a little over 9 lbs. It is currently strung with D'Addario 10-46 ala Lindsay Buckingham's preferred setup. Action is medium height. There is zero fretwear. Like any fine, handmade instrument, there are some minor imperfections: 1.) a small pinhead size finish flaw on the top near the piezo blend knob. 2.) a minor installation flaw of the binding in the cutaway on the back of the guitar. Both are pictured but are hard to see. Please look closely. This truly is an exquisite guitar. I hope it goes to a great player or aspiring to be great. Honestly, this should be someone's sole axe. It's so deep, so versatile -and so unique. It needs someone to master it. There is so much it can do. It's a very different instrument. The build quality, materials and innovations are beyond what most players ever get to hold in their hands. You'll understand why I'm trying to describe when you play it. Retail is $5175.00 and there are not many in existence. This one is like new but priced accordingly due to the minor flaws. Shipping is $75.00 via Priority USPS or UPS Ground. You can decide how you'd like it shipped. Priority is 2-3 days. Ground is a little slower, usually. Good luck!
