Robin guitars

[Black Mariah]

I managed to trade my way into a Robin at the guitar show this weekend. It's an '88 Medley, but I'm not sure what particular model. I think it's a Medley IV, and I'm actually pretty certain that it's the exact same guitar in the bottom review here: http://www.harmony-central.com/Guita...ley-IV-01.html

This thing is awesome. Easily the best playing bolt on I own. Probably has something to do with it having the BEST. NECK. EVER.

Are there any sites with info about Robins? I can't find anything at all.

Re: Robin guitars

They're still good. I was playing a Wrangler some this weekend and it felt pretty damn good. Those Rio Grande pickups they use now are excellent. Alan, one of their sales reps, stopped by the booth I was working and showed off a Savoy he was carrying around. Those things are ES-335 sized and the back and side are carved from ONE PIECE of mahogany. [img]graemlins/drool2.gif[/img]

Re: Robin guitars

Welcome to the world of Robin, one of the best kept secrets of excellent guitars out there (Roscoe is the other) beyond the Jackson/Charvels!

I've got 8 of them, including 3 that are pictured in the '92 catalog with their endorser, plus one that used to belong to Tim Kelly.

Enjoy the web sites! And give Dave Wintz the owner a call and tell him how awesome his guitar is!
