Wow, never seen that model before. I love the natural look too it.

One thing is for sure with Rick Turner Guitars: I have held a lot of guitars in my hands over the years, and those RT's workmanship is in my opinion, one of, if not the best in overall craftsmanship that I have seen.

Just the binding alone makes my jaw drop! Either wood or what he called a "rope" binding, which was light and dark pieces of wood intertwined together.

And the finish was a smooth as glass, and gave the sensation of a violin finish.

Stellar.

Yeah, Rick Turner is an artist-no doubt 'bout that. I don't think he's ever turned out an ugly axe...

Never have seen a RT live. Only pictures, but they always looked cool. Lindsey Buckingham always seemed to play his to good effect.

Spending more than 3K on an axe, would not be an option for me, no matter how good it is, unless it was an investment that could make me money.

I would much rather turn to guys like Rich Rice at Rice customs and get something incredible for 3K or less....

I am not saying the RT's are bad, but 5,5K is just hillarious unless it comes with built in jaco like skills

Now we are talking! THAT is what I want bundled with a new guitar... some major hardcore skills of some rock star... I. E. - This new Parker Fly comes with a case, strap, and Phil Keaggy...
