Robbin Crosby RIP

[AIC70]

Cool pic! The pickup config on the white bird is different. Is that a single coil stacked right on top of the humbucker???

Whoa! I just noticed the top rail on the hum. What a strange combo. Curt - was the Black DR one of the stolen guitars from Robbin's Laurel Canyon home?

To my knowledge NO 'Big Black' wasn't one of the stolen ones...Robbin did not specifically mention it.

Interestingly...his comments regarding this guitar were: 'I never bonded with it....it had a Rhoads pickguard and due to my aggressive playing style I found myself lifting the whole thing off the body when I went to change volume....it just felt flimsy to me'

There was a Red one that was given as a gift to his friend, Tak Yonemochi....a Japanese journalist, producer and musician.

Tak's band was 'Air Pavilion' in which both Robbin and Tom Croucier (Juan's brother) played in.

Here are a few pics of the red Hamer, taken at Tak Yonemochi's studio where I was invited after the Tokyo Guitar Show a few years ago.

The White Hamer Bird was for sale at The Guitar Exchange when I went in to order one of my custom King's...... I should have picked it up when I had the chance!
