Willie G. Moseley Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Contract signed last week. Same format as Bakersfield Guitars, The Bass Space, etc. 8 1/2" X 11" softcover, estimated photo count = over 400....but this ain't no coffee table book; it's a history book with color pictures. Target price = $29.95 again but paper prices have gone up, so it may be a bit higher. My publisher uses American printers. And A LUTHIER'S LIFE: The Guitar Odyssey of Roger Fritz has the same format, and it'll be out in about a month. Premier book signing sponsored by the Mobile Arts Council on 20 OCT 23. Another signing at Page & Palette bookstore in Fairhope (Alabama) on 17 NOV. Roger's shop is located in that community, and there's still hippies to be found in Fairhope. 14 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shark Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 So cool. I was recently questioned by a Robin insider about a guitar I own. Dave Wintz was a great guy. I met him at the Orlando Vintage Guitar Show in the early nineties. Can't remember the year. He had the new "Avalon" model in tow. It was at the Tupperware Auditorium in Kissimmee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donner Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I like Robins. Also, I like anythings „thunder“. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff R Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 It is such a shame this didn't happen before Dave's passing. And I really miss our phone calls and hang outs. I have pickup clients who were former Robin Guitars endorsers - Steve Blaze of Lillian Axe (NOLA) and Scott Dalhover of Dangerous Toys (Austin). E-mail me if you'd like their contact information for book content. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biz Prof Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Robin was one of those brands (like Hamer) that, to me, oozed that cool, hot-rodded-classic appeal. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamerica Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Bumpage - Looking forward to this book @Willie G. Moseley The Dusty Hill Collection had a few Robin Basses and I somehow missed the original post. Hamerica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And THAT would be par for the course for the average person with Tupperware. Lids with no matching containers; containers with no matching lids. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadbeat son Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 I always wanted a Robin but have never owned one. The only one I played was a white Tedley with a red stained maple neck with Machete headstock at Rockin' Robin in Houston. It was a really cool guitar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
