Renaissance is a brand name of Rick Turner, a well known luthier, electronics designer and innovator. In 1997 Rick moved his instrument-making facility from the outskirts of LA to Santa Cruz, California, where he and his team began to build Renaissance instruments, Turner guitars, and custom projects. The Renaissance range are thinline semi-hollow bodied guitars and basses desgined for performance and recording - a great range of acoustic and electric tones without feed-back issues.
