Part 1 of the extensive DVD feature about one of the most famous master luthiers and "inventors" in American Guitar History, Rick Turner. Rick has built guitars for some of the most famous guitarists of all time. He has also worked very successfully as manager of the R&D department of guitar companies like Gibson. See a part of Rock'n Roll history and enjoy Rick, Henry Kaiser, Richard Glick and Bill walker. This is GOURMET GUITARS ® at it's Best! Tastefully filmed and edited by Holger Obenaus. Comments and ratings are highly appreciated! Thanks. ;-)
Thanks for the great clip. Rick was my boss at Alembic...for one day. He left, I stayed, but it was long enough to start a friendship that I would have paid millions for. His excitement over the Howe-Orme guitar was just as intense thirty years ago. He lost most of his possessions in a fire...but thankfully it survived.
He's had an effect on every guitar maker I know. The true Godfather of the craft.
