tubesrus Posted October 1, 2023 Posted October 1, 2023 I was at the counter at Rockin Robin when Billy Gibbons walked up with a purchase order for a Robin Artisian, a very nice Japanese-made guitar. The 10 inch radius didn't suit me so I didn't buy a Savoy (spelling?) that was beautiful, with the Barbque bucker that guitar was smoking hot. Quote
tubesrus Posted October 1, 2023 Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) The Artisian was essentially an SG with a carved top and was quite affordable. I snagged an Avalon flat top with P-90s on eBay but the neck felt cumbersome, so I traded it in on a Koa-topped Mirage. Bart couldn't sell a Hamer so he was willing to deal. Traded a Fender solid-state reverb for a set of dual-calibrated strat pickups which are still in it. Edited October 1, 2023 by tubesrus bad spelling Quote
The Shark Posted October 1, 2023 Posted October 1, 2023 Billy had an American Artisan in translucent red. It was custom built years ago. Here's my last Robin acquisition before Dave closed the shop. Fantastic guitar. 7 Quote

ChugD Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 I have had a few Medleys, now gone. All that remains is Machete. Must be pronounced Ma---chet----AAAAA! 5 Quote
stedge Posted October 5, 2023 Author Posted October 5, 2023 Pretty cool. Gotta say that the Artisan and the earlier-posted wrap Avalon are it, for me. And that flame top Jr posted in another thread. I would die happy… You, all, have some lovely guitars. I hope they are played and enjoyed! Quote
stedge Posted October 5, 2023 Author Posted October 5, 2023 Oh, and I’d throw in a McNally parlor. That would be the final bit of kit…. Nah, who am I kidding. Quote

LOVE the neck on this! Sounds like a similar spec to the one I put in my old Charvel tele (er, esquire - with the Eldred circuit). Killer pickup. 3 Quote
