I have an idea!!!
Imagine a Rickenbacker mated with a PRS, then that offspring bred with a Gretsch Falcon...
What would become of this inbreeding mess?
I call it the ST-001, for the lack of a better name. Basically this is a new type of electric guitar, a totally new and radical design that will for sure get second glances. This guitar will sustain and bite like a traditional solid body but have the warmth and harmonic content of a top-of-the-line acoustic.
Stay tuned for sketches, this will surely grab attention on stage and in the studio.
But now, here's some photos of a current project. It's a reissue of a '61 Gibson SG from the mid 90's that has seen better days. The owner brought this to me in hopes that I would fix the headstock. Needless to say this neck and headstock has seen its fair share of beatings, bruising and faulting fix-ups. However this is a prime example of what we do at Robinson Instruments. We take in stuff that seems impossible to repair, be it from fire damage or butterfinger hands of a roadie. We are a restoration shop.
These are the before shots, and I'm glad to say it's now drying and just about ready for it's final polish.
