What is that button on the face of the instrument? lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 5520 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Sunday, August 25, 2013 - 10:08 pm:    These are very rare. I read there were four made or seven made. I have one, as does another member of this forum. Mine can be seen in some of the pics from the recent Northern California Gathering VI. Each is a little different. Mine has two pickups and active electronics.

I'm waiting on a response from Rick, but I think the "button" is to enhance resonance in some way, but not really sure. lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 5523 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Tuesday, August 27, 2013 - 1:56 pm:    The others I've seen of these, as well as Turner's Model 1, have a triangular cover that sits between the bridge and the end of the guitar. You can see it in the pics from the NorCal VI gathering, and pics of Turner's Model 1 guitars. The "button" is the bottom mounting screw for the cover.

Beautiful instruments. paexplorer New Username: paexplorer Post Number: 8 Registered: 8-2013 Posted on Tuesday, August 27, 2013 - 6:39 pm:    Very Cool! paexplorer New Username: paexplorer Post Number: 9 Registered: 8-2013 Posted on Wednesday, August 28, 2013 - 5:59 am:    Maybe a battery cover when needed and left off when not needed? jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 3589 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, August 28, 2013 - 7:19 am:    Great looking guitars. Is there anything unique about the pickups or electronics?
