Yeah, I think MOST Turner Model 1 finishes/wood types are just gorgeous.

Last July I was in Las Vegas and took a trip to Ed Roman's guitar shop. He had (and apparently STILL has) this Model 1 made from sycamore (rather than the usual mahogany or alder). As fine as this photo is, it doesn't do the finish justice...it's MUCH more intense wood grain than how the photo makes it look.

I just wish I had the money to scoop this puppy up...but, alas, only in my dreams. (Like already owning ONE awesome Model 1 isn't infinitely MORE than one could ask for in a lifetime?)
