Robin - anyone have one?

[BrrGrrDelux]

I've been watching that "Seafoam Green" Ranger myself, though it looks to be about as Daphne Blue as a guitar can get, but what do I know? On the same site, there's another Ranger for several hundred less. It's a nice-looking Trans Red that appears to be in great shape. Both examples have the non-reverse headstock, which I think looks a lot better, but again, WDIK. The Ranger is super-versatile and the Rio Grande pickups are excellent. You wouldn't go wrong with either one.

Robin didn't offer Daphne Blue.

Rangers are cool...kudos to Greg P.  He always provided the best pics with new Robin purchases!

I've got this if you're interested in the HPJ (homely plain jane) model. It's got a carved top and fat bastard P90's in it. Plays and sounds just like a real purdy one.

I have a couple of late 80's Medleys for sale:

1. Bolt-on with meaty neck, cool custom finish, has a built-in Nady wireless (can still use the regular jack), Robin licensed floyd rose.

2. Orig pink/fushia finish,  Setneck, big neck on it, Kahler trem.

Email me at Hamstd@gmail.com if you have questions/interest.

Just an update, I bought Woodpile’s Robin (thanks WP), and really enjoy the guitar.  Been using a MB IIA, straight in.  The neck is a comfy medium to medium plus (diff shape but about as full as my Talladega, fwiw), it plays well, and will be played a lot and out without worries.  This one is a player, not a museum piece.  Now, as I ponder a couple other guitars for sale here that are admittedly spectacular, I remain on the lookout for robins, as well.  Yes, I have caught the bug.  Because, yeah, I got one and it is that good.

It's just too much here and too little there.  I can't put my finger on it...

On Reverb:

Yep, saw that.  Familiar w what is on reverb and eBay as of yesterday, but none floatin’ my boat.   

Here the one i just snagged, with replaced knobs that i assume are closer to original, in a location i dont usually play (ie the living room), but it sounded good and was close to my vino.

That E-type is very cool, btw.
