woodpile Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Looking to find a Standard or Explorer (rather have a standard) and, as usual, I have some stuff to sell first. Also willing to trade. Here's what I got: GIT#1 / '96 Custom Archtop B&C in good condition with OHSC. Has various and numerous scratches and nicks that aren't real visible until you get the right reflections. Neck is a nice medium carve (not thin). Plays and sounds great. The top is way flamier in person than I could catch in the pics. GIT#2 / '95 Hamer Studio with wraparound TP in good condition with various/numerous scratches and nicks. This guitar is dark blue FM in the right light but appears close to black at a glance most of the time. Also has a nice medium carve neck. Not exactly sure what the pickups are being they're both zebra. Plays and sounds great. Comes with OHSC GIT#3 / Robin USA made Archtop Avalon (not sure the exact model) with WCR Darkburst pickups in very good condition with some scratches and nicks. It has a clear (tinted?) mat finish. Comes with OHSC. Plays and sound great. Prices for sale are: **WEEKEND REDUCTIONS (one and only): GIT#1 1799.00 plus shipping / SOLD Git#2 1299.00 plus shipping / now $1199 GIT#3. 1699.00 plus shipping / SOLD ***These are on Reverb at higher prices. Will be dropping prices there on Monday Still open to trade offers for a USA Standard (any model) or an explorer (either Gibson or Japanese copy) in at least good condition.

Look. I'll be perfectly honest. I called Dave, when that news "hit". I'm in with Dan Kashola, Darren, and some of the other former Robin Forum regulars. They all contacted me about Dave Wintz offering one at a time custom Robin guitars. I had Dave's number. So, I called. I should provide some context to this first. My good friend Greg spec'd out a Robin Artisan (only a few were ever made in Houston) in Korina with a killer quilted maple top, Brazillian board and block inlays in burnt orange. I was getting ready to send a down payment on the custom order when Dave called Greg to tell him he was done. So, years later I'm on the phone with the man thinking I could spec out a great custom guitar that I'd pay too much for. Kiz will tell you that I'm known to do that. But it just didn't materialize. Dave told me that there would be no crown inlays. There would be no bound fingergoard. And he didn't want to do the burnt orange finish that I likened to Erlewine Automatics that I've known and love. Basically, he didn't want to build the guitar I wanted. I don't know of and have not seen a guitar built since then. That was about three years ago. The price for what I didn't want was 6K plus shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't, Woody. When and if I decide to sell it, I first have to torture @The Shark for a few weeks before permitting him to force a wheelbarrow full of money on me. What size dirty money hat?

Sorry to ask, but which guitar? One of mine or Kizmos Standard? All of mine are solid and have, imo, medium C carves with slight variations.

kizanski Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 The Avalon Classics were chambered, but that wasn't set in stone. Of course, this guitar could be an Avalon Standard, but they didn't usually have figured tops. In either case Woody's description is gospel, as far as I'm concerned. You can't go wrong buying/selling with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
