Rest In Peace Rick Turner

[CaseyVancouver]

Alembic #1 back in his hands for ‘restoration’.
He built it in ‘70/‘71 for Jack Casady.

Pretty amazing story he has.
Just read this article.
Rick Turner: The Father of Boutique Guitars
What a journey.. onward in the stars.

Good article, thanks for this link. Still, leaves me wanting more. What a life he led. Would love to read a Rick Turner biography.

I had a few correspondences with him on luthery forums and he was always helpful. His Renaissance basses inspired me to build this one. It's also the one in my avatar.
