This is a nice silhouette photograph showing the gaps between the fingerboard in the top and the face of the heel and the end of the guitar. You can see, just under the fingerboard, there are two screws, one on either side of the neck, which act as pivot points and are adjustable, so that the entire neck can be moved in and out to adjust overall intonation. The bolt in the middle is the one that actually sets the angle of the neck, and the one closer to the cap of the heel is a locking screw that locks the neck in place once it is set.

Warwick Lancelot Armstrong "Rick" Turner III was born on July 30th, 1943 and passed away April 17th 2022.

Though his guitars may not have been as well known as Fender and Gibson, many players such as Jesse Colin Young,

John Entwistle, and especially Lindsey Buckingham all relied on his unique instruments.
