July 30, 2003

D-TAR stands for duncan | turner acoustic research, and marks the union of Seymour Duncan Pickups with noted luthier and acoustic amplification expert, Rick Turner. D-TAR has a full line-up of products, including pickups and both on-board and off-board electronics. All are geared toward the tone-minded acoustic musician. D-TAR's first consumer product is an off-board, two-channel mixer called Solstice.
