Yawn. LOL OMG, I bored myself.

Sesly, do you know what the plaque says?

Yeah, something about who made it for him and junk, Tiff photographed the plaque. Tiff, do you have that pic?

Okay, the plaque said: Turner "Model 1 Lindsey Buckingham"

This guitar was built for Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac by Rick Turner. Lindsey used it for 7 years before retiring it for a lightweight model of the exact same guitar. The Model 1 is among the most innovative guitars of the modern era and its understated beauty can't be denied. It's no wonder that Lindsey uses it exclusively. Turner has built instruments for the Grateful Dead, John Entwistle, John Paul Jones, John McVie, and others too numerous to list here.

Sadly, I did not get to visit the HRC in Vegas. It was just too far! I would have loved to see anything LB related, too! Thanks for posting that pic! The HRC in Tampa, FL has some LB things. Alex posted them a few months ago! Now to get something of his in Boston and Foxwoods!

My roommate Anita had her car so she drove us over there, so spoiled. Yeah, Boston needs some of his stuff. I haven't been there in so long. Would you believe there were no Stevie things anywhere? There was one FM drum head signed by everyone but it was all faded.

Well that's horse**** on the plaque......

Ed Roman, proprietor of World Class Guitars, now based in Las Vegas has been quoted here.. His purpose is to sell guitars, and he's very good at it too.. LB using it for 7 years might be the case, Roman did have an "LB owned" guitar on his site as well that he was trying to sell for $17,000, possibly it's this one... Although I have it on very good information this was the "picture" guitar used in photoshoots because it was the least beat up and wasn't one he really used or liked to play... Same guitar? Wonder if HRC own it now? I'll dig out some pics and look at the grain pattern on the top to see if they match..

I do know for a FACT because Rick Turner told me, that Lindsey still uses the heavier, full mahogany Model 1's. Rick does a chambered, lighter weight version but Lindsey doesn't use it. Rick also does a Model 1 Lightweight, which is an awesome guitar but so far LB has not used one in public. I think Ed wants to push the lightweight model because Rick has said so, any coincidence here???

It's mine!

There is a blue Stevie dress right near the 'Rest Room" signs and a Rick Vito guitar at the one in Boston. No Lindsey stuff however.
