Hi People.
I just thought i would post on here about my acoustic guitar as you may or may not have heard of this brand.
They are called Turner Guitars. They are machine made but hand finished and set up spot on. Based in the UK but are not made here just finished & set up I believe.
to quote their site.
"Each instrument is made using the finest solid spruce tops with precise scalloped bracing. They have a bone nut and saddle for extra tone and the fingerboard has a 45mm width at the nut making the guitar a ‘fingerstyle’ players’ dream"
I bought one (second hand left hander) and have been amazed by it. finish is great, nice low action and tone to die for. They are basically copies of Taylor guitars but done very very well and allot cheaper! I paid £275 Uk pounds for mine. You can find cheaper right handed versions as there are more of your right handers around. For us lefties choice is very very limited. Going to a guitar shop for a lefty gives you about 1-2 guitars to look at :-( in my case around where i live usually none are available but can be ordered in. To me thats no good as you want to try before you buy!
Turner guitars have lots of series of models going from series 30,40,50,60,70,80 & 90 the higher the series model the pricer they become. within each series they have different body shapes.
I bought a 74ce left handed grand auditorium shape electro acoustic. Out of all different brands i managed to try out, this one sang out to me the most, you cant believe tone for value.
Prices range from around £200 + to £800+ uk pounds. Second hand ones can be cheaper no doubt. look on ebay!
So there it is just thought i would let you know about my acoustic guitar and how good i find it to play. If you are looking for a new acoustic then I suggest (if you can find these in your countries) you try and check one of these out.
I would say its better than some more expensive branded guitars. Lets not be vain here its not about the name & make its the tone and playability.
They do have a website if you wanted more info. I think you can buy direct too.
Take care all, & keep Jammin'
