I remember when he first got it (there's a thread somewhere around here)..... Awesome guitar. I love the original small standard 'Mac' shape, and happy to see it being utilized in recent custom builds.... barryr1 Intermediate Member Username: barryr1 Post Number: 126 Registered: 10-2007 Posted on Wednesday, August 27, 2014 - 7:17 pm:    Hi guys. I threw it up in front of the group last year before I sold my house to see if anyone had any interest. From there my father died, my brother died and I relocated. Now that I am settled again, I figured that I would actually see if there was any interest out there. Happy to answer any questions. Guitar not getting used often and time constraints are greater but life is good. Don't "need" to sell. Just trying not to start a guitar museum. room037 Senior Member Username: room037 Post Number: 503 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Thursday, August 28, 2014 - 12:10 am:    Hi Barry, Do you have any update about serial number ? I think the serial is 20 to 40 range. I am interested the PU selector without brass plate. The simple square tailpiece is very eary example (before 15).

Rick Turner told me he was sure it was one of the first 20 based on it's characteristics. He said that the details were loose from one to the other then because they were basically making one off's. He actually remembered the instruments but didn't remember who he made it for. funkyjazzjunky Senior Member Username: funkyjazzjunky Post Number: 919 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Friday, August 29, 2014 - 10:25 pm:    What a beauty barryr1 Intermediate Member Username: barryr1 Post Number: 128 Registered: 10-2007 Posted on Saturday, August 30, 2014 - 5:40 pm:    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=321502164354 barryr1 Intermediate Member Username: barryr1 Post Number: 129 Registered: 10-2007 Posted on Saturday, August 30, 2014 - 5:42 pm:    I posted a few better photos if you want a better look. barryr1 Intermediate Member Username: barryr1 Post Number: 130 Registered: 10-2007 Posted on Saturday, August 30, 2014 - 5:50 pm:    jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 4205 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Saturday, September 06, 2014 - 12:11 am:    Some history http://alembic.com/club/messages/411/48514.html?1409987347
