OK, thanks for the background info. Cool looking guitar

 

[RVBASS]

Just posted my five string fretted Renaissance Bass in the classified section if anyone is interested, it’s a beautiful bass

Someone got me this in exchange for refretting his guitar, and I certainly think it's awesome:surprisingly my first Turner

Your attachment link did not work, looking forward to seeing it…the Electroline guitars you all are putting out lately are very cool!

Thank you! The Electroline guitar was the last model that Rick put into regular production, so it's a very special one to us.

Is this one of the Michael Kelly/Renaisance collaboration guitars? Somewhere wayback in the thread here, I posted about them. I thought Rick may have commented too.

Looks like that may be the case.

Yes it is! I'm in the early stages of building myself an RS6 Deuce too

I have an Electroline guitar, bought it in early 2022, tobacco sunburst, and I love it!

Oh damn, I definitely did the finish on that! That was the first regular production batch, so I kinda went all out and bursted the necks on I think most of them

 

[EdwardofHuncote]

I had a fleeting idea for a Custom Turner guitar a little while back, built on that Electroline platform. What drew me in was the hardtail model Sylvan Music (?) had... I started thinking about how Rick would have imagined a Super-Tele, versus his take on the Super-Strat. Then I got caught up in the moment and shortened the scale to 24.75", and backstrapped the headstock. It was a great daydream. I'm sure it's do-able.

You did a beautiful job on the finish for this guitar! These guitars have a very full sound and I love the variable blaster circuit, really powerful with clarity and a huge range of natural overdrive as well. A fantastic guitar. Very comfortable to play and very unique taper (front to back) of the neck profile as you move from the nut (thicker-rounder) to body (thinner-flatter), very innovative design and comfortable as you move around the neck.

And here are my Turner Model 1 basses

That rosewood M-1 is Uh-mazing.

Oh that's the Gryphon one! They requested this finish based off a 1996 Electroline bass

These two are before I was hired. I've been with the company since Jan 2021

Was it the yellowish ash one that Sylvan had or one of the bursts?

This one here:
Rick Turner Electroline Hardtail Guitar Sunburst | Reverb

I reckon they still have it in stock. That's a beautiful guitar. Checks a lot of my boxes.

Yes, Gryphon. Reminds me of a 70s era 335 I had, love that burst color and pattern! Cool insight on the color request
