  • Robin Trower Custom Shop

    Bit the bullet and got one of these new sight unseen or unplayed Again my research ahead of time paid off, since I haven't put this down in the past 2 weeks except to sleep, eat, and go to work to pay for this unit.
    I couldn't find one of these anywhere except for a few dealers. I got this guy from a CS dealer in PA. There is not much information on the internet on these except in Robin Trower's own words in videos. I've been a fan for years of the man and his music. I'll only get a Sig. guitar if I like the specs. and this one has them. As with most Custom Shop guitars this one plays flawlessly with it's vintage "C" shaped neck with Abalone inlays. The Sperzel tuners keep the vintage bridge in check. I was never a fan of red finishes, but this Wineburst is awesome. The pups are a CS '54 in the neck, a CS 60's in the middle and a CS Texas Special in the bridge. A nice combination, Mr. Trower!

    I just plug into my pedals Fulltone Clyde Wah, into the Fulltone Deja-Vibe, then out through the Fulltone RTO and bam, "Bridge of Sighs", and "Day of The Eagle", "Too Rolling Stoned", etc. is all there

        I thought these were pretty cool when they first came out. Did they make different colors? I remember liking it, but not in that color...

        Glad you're stoled about it.

        This is like new strat week around the JCF.

          They do make the Trower in Black and Artic White. I got the Wineburst since that's Robin's favorite color The Wineburst guitar (prototype) is the one you see him in concert with the most.

          He's on tour this year and heading back to Europe for August, and back to tour the U.S. East Coast in September.



          Yeah, I timed it for Strat week at JCF.
