...a Gibson Chet Atkins on "Big Love"??
Think again, bucko. Here's a small portion of a very long interview with Rick Turner from 2000. Some other things had happened design-wise, of course. I'd been doing these conversions on Chet Atkins nylon-string guitars, installing a hex pickup with panning stereo output. Bob Wolstein and I worked on some really trick electronics when we were both working for Gibson that they didn't take. You could pan strings anywhere, it could simultaneously drive the Roland guitar synthesizer, and it sounded just gangbusters. I did probably thirteen or fourteen of those conversion jobs, including two for Lindsey Buckingham. I went to one of Lindsey's gigs one night, and there he is just playing the hell out of a Chet Atkins, with a little bit of synth in there, and it just sounded great. I was just dumbfounded because I realized that here he is playing this thing, and it sounds great, and everybody thinks it's a Gibson, but that's not what they're hearing! They're seeing a Gibson and they're hearing me! And I said, "Screw this! No more modifying Gibsons. I'm going to design a guitar." The guitar he designed? The Renaissance RS-6.
