Renaissance Guitars in Beautiful Cedar & Sycamore in Our Real Time Inventory

Absolutely Amazing Acoustic Sound!!!

6 String, 12 String and Bass Renaissance Guitars

 

The Renaissance semi-hollow "ampli-coustic" guitars and basses will give you the finest in amplified acoustic instrument tones with none of the problems associated with adding pickups and mics to acoustic guitars.

Built like fine acoustic instruments with solid braced cedar tops, bent sides, and solid wood backs, but with a solid mahogany internal center block, the Renaissance instruments combine the best of  both the acoustic and electric worlds. The maple necks bolt on and the deep cutaways allow access to 24 frets on Guitars and 21 on Basses. Rosewood or Pau Ferro fingerboards are trimmed with New Zealand Paua shell fret markers, and the peg heads are overlaid with tortoise shell celluloid.

Rick Turner has developed his own co-axial pickup system, and it is coupled with an 18 volt pre amp system custom made for Turner by Highlander Audio, a company which Rick Turner helped to co-found.  This is the smoothest sounding pickup/electronics package available today.

I strongly  recommend and endorse All of the Turner & Renaissance Instruments. Currently I use a Renaissance Bass at least 50% of the time when I am recording. Not only does it sound incredible but it plays great and it's extremely light.
