D-TAR (de-tar): D-TAR is the logical union of Seymour Duncan, the world's leading pickup builder, and Rick Turner, the world's foremost authority on acoustic instrument amplification. These two legends, who spent years working with musicians, perfecting their tone, now are working together to create innovative products for acoustic musicians. D-TAR's motto is: "with respect to acoustic tone."

What do David Lindley, The Backsliders' Dom Turner, Colin Hay (Men at Work), bassist Bakithi Kumalo (Paul Simon),and Glen Phillips (Toad the Wet Sprocket, Mutual Admiration Society) all have in common besides great music and all are men? They've all made D-TAR's Solstice Mixing-Blending System an integral part of their onstage rig. The Solstice blends virtually any type of sound source through two channels. That means your guitar's magnetic pickup can be mixed with a standard mic, for instance, or a piezo pickup with a high output condenser mic, and so on. Maybe Colin Hay put it better,

In a world where more and more is making less and less sense, the Solstice runs against the grain. If you have a pickup in your acoustic guitar, plug in, if you like a microphone on your guitar, plug that in too. You'll like the way you sound. Tell the man in the black T-shirt where to take his XLR from, and then relax. If you start to feel warm and fuzzy, don't worry, it's normal.

Some men are born innovators and Rick Turner is one of them. Whether perusing the dusty annals of rock history or reading the latest write-up in sound innovation, you will find Rick Turner's name on almost every page. This is a palpable flow of creative energy pulsing through the veins of Rick Turner and Renaissance Guitars.
