Renaissance Guitars are the ultimate stage acoustic guitars! Built by Master Luthier, Rick Turner, the Renaissance line of acoustic instruments are built for tone and performance. Light as a feather and no on stage feedback with these custom guitars. You will cut through any mix with a Renaissance Guitar.
Constructed like true acoustic instruments, with bent sides and a braced tone wood top and back, the Renaissance series truly represents the best way to achieve acoustic tone plugged in.
The construction feature that sets these instruments apart is the Western Red Cedar center block that prevents feedback and yet provides an acoustically live foundation for the D-TAR Wavelength preamp and Turner Timberline pickup system.
This instrument utilizes a D-TAR Timberline pickup system that features a coaxial piezo polymer pickup element mounted in a curve bottomed slot in the bridge with a bone or carbon fiber saddle transferring the string pressure variations from vibrations into the pickup which transduces those vibrations into an electrical signal. Because the pickup senses 360 degrees around it’s core, you get both direct string sound as well as the warmth of the wood of the body. Pickup installation is all about location, location, location, as well as the exact geometry of the saddle/pickup/bridge interfaces, and they have taken great care to optimize installation including tilting the saddle back at an angle of 7 degrees to better split the “break angle” of the string as it goes over the saddle and down into the body.
That pickup signal is matched to an 18 volt preamp which provides a bit of a signal boost as well as conditioning the pickup impedance to run down long cables and match the input characteristics of typical amplifiers. Earlier instruments used two 9 Volt batteries; newer ones use two “AA” cells with a 6X voltage multiplier circuit to achieve the same headroom as with the two 9 volt batteries.
This is a fantastic instrument, if you are a lefty and have been considering a 12-string stage instrument, go no further!
Original Cedar Creek Hard case included.

If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.
