Looks great Michael! They forgot your "piezo" though

Actually, I 'forgot' it. I was rather disappointed when I saw this omission, but I remembered having the conversation where I dropped this option in favor of having a Model 1 more in line with what LB plays.

Still sounds awesome!

Oh definitely... looks great

AWESOME! Welcome to the "Turner Model 1 Owners Club". My suggestion, though, now that you have it. Go ahead and take the time to get the "Lindsey" out of your system and then concentrate on YOUR OWN creativity using the Model 1. THAT's when you'll REALLY gain appreciation for what that guitar can do.

Do any of the guitarists here play without a pick? I thought I was the only one, if not one of the few.

Been pick-less for all of my guitar days... My story is nearly identical to Lindsey's which is kinda cool and it totally reenforces my faith in cycles. Unfortunatly I am not only pick-less but Model 1-less as well.

My stepsons play guitar and someone convinced them to start playing pickless (that someone might have been me!)

It depends what I'm playing. I'll tend to use a pick if it's for a strummy sort of song (unless it's out of reach and I'm too lazy to get off my ass). I'll play a lot of lead stuff with no pick to get a certain style and with one if I want a different style. I can play much more intricately without a pick though.

I will take your advice. Like most who own this guitar, chasing that Lindsey tone is the first thing people probably do with it after receiving it. I'm no different in that regard. Dreams was probably the easiest to nail and I'm still working on several others.

The harder part will be trying to remember all of the knob positions for the different tunes.
