Lindsey's main electric guitar onstage has long been the Turner Model 1. In his early days in Fleetwood Mac, the story goes, Lindsey played a Fender Telecaster which suited his fingerpicking style. The rest of the band eventually made him switch to a Gibson Les Paul, which they felt more appropriate for their sound, but Lindsey was unhappy with the feel (1). Upon playing an acoustic guitar made by luthier Rick Turner during the Tusk sessions, Lindsey asked Rick to construct a guitar that was a cross between his acoustics and a Les Paul. The resulting guitar, which turned out to be a Model 1, had a more percussive response to fingerpicking as well as a tone similar to that of a Les Paul (2). Although he rarely uses it in the studio (1), Lindsey has played the Model 1 almost exclusively onstage since. On "The Chain" during the Out of the Cradle Tour (1992-1993), he played a one-of-a-kind Turner Model 27.
Mini Lindsey : This is a nice new tale on how Lindsey aquired how first Model 1. Compared to all the websites that use the same regargated story over and over again. Well Worded
