I've really dug these guitars since first seeing Lindsey playing them, but for a while I couldn't wrap my head around a guitar without a bridge pup...now I don't give a fudge as long as I like the instrument (i.e.: it sounds good). Oddly, the classic sounds we all know and love were often a Les Paul Custom and some Strat thrown in here and there.
That said, there's a lot of great live stuff that reveal how good the Turner sounds. As has been thoroughly covered, want, but cost prohibitive.
