David,

I have an AutoCAD drawing of the Model 1 if you'd like it. It is accurate.

: Hi everybody!! I am an electric guitar maker and am currently undertaking the construction of a copy of a Turner Model 1 (Lyndsey Buckingham) guitar. The problem I have is that because of their rarity I can't find one anywhere to measure up. I've got as much info as I can by studying photos on the 'net and getting my dimensions by using the (known)scale length as a datum. The real difficulty is the actual profiling of the body, this is a "cylindrical" shape according to Rick Turner!! I've never actually seen one of the instruments "In the flesh", but I've loved them for years and always promised myself I'd build one someday......well, someday has arrived!!! So if anyone knows of the whereabouts of one of these beautiful guitars that I would be able to have a look at, I'd be very pleased to hear from you. I live in Lancashire and would be willing to travel up to 100 miles to see one. I also get up to Edinburgh and down to Hereford quite a lot so anywhere around these areas would be great.

: Thanks a lot
: David.
