The man's genius. I've bumped into him on a fair fer forums and MAN you gotta respect what he has to say..... He is, (in my flawed way of looking at the world) the Simon Cowell of Lutherie. He may be blunt in how he says it, but y'know, 99% of the time (at least) he is exactly right!! |

I have great respect for Rick, his work and his expertise. See any very rare Rick Turner guitar turn up on ebay, and the bids go sky high. |

The man is one of the real forces in the world of lutherie today. Great knowledge and a very scientific approach to building, but still careful to maintain the artistic flair as well. His advice and ideas should find their way into the notebooks of anyone who reads them....they WILL come in handy for any luthier at one time or another. Great sound advice offered with few frills and one of the rare no nonsense deliveries still given without an offensive or self inflating attitude or tone. Also, Rick's guitars are always a pleasure to see and to play and their tone has filled a niche in the industry that belongs to them alone. I love his ideas and designs and have watched the istruments evolve over the years into the world class innovation showcases that they are today. He's one of my favorite people in the industry and he deserves any accolades that come his way. Regards, Kevin Gallagher/Omega Guitars |

He certainly is one of the greats. I miss his involvement here on the OLF... |

I saw him on the OLF last evening. When I got my magazine a couple weeks back, I and saw Lindsey Buckingham, well I automatically knew he was holding a Turner. Yeah, we do miss him, but there is hope... I saw him lurking last night. Hello Rick.

I'm new to the forum, but Rick has a very nice website. Not to hi-jack this thread, but does anyone know a source for the "Santa Cruz County Sycamore" he uses- it's shown on his Ukulele page. Thats a fabulous looking instrument. I live right over the hill from Santa Cruz. I'm gonna have to visit some small sawyers around here... |

Gene, I live in SCruz and I asked about that Sycamore because I like it too. Answer was that it's not available commercially, and they get it up in Bonny Doon, they didn't say from whom. Maybe Rick or someone at his shop cuts it. I just bought some nicely figured Sycamore off eBay for less than $50. |
