New Robin Owner

[Kane Miller]

I just ordered my first Robin, from Junior's Music, who were a pleasure to deal with. My new baby is a two-tone sunburst Ranger, with a beautiful, highly figured maple neck.

I plan on pulling the white pickguard off ASAP, and replacing it with a tortoise one. Has anyone here ordered a replacement pickguard for a Ranger? Where did you get it, and are you happy with it?

Along with my new guitar, I just joined this group, and am looking forward to joining the discourse here.

My brief bio is:
Lieutenant with Orlando, Florida F.D. (for a living).
28 years experience as a performer (for fun!).
I play whatever I'm being paid for, but the Blues is my passion.
I'm fortunate to have some great gear, including several PRS, a Don Grosh strat, Taylor and National acoustics, and Dr Z Maz 18 and Z28 amps, along with a Germino Masonette 25. The Robin will no doubt be a wonderful addition.

Sorry I missed the factory event this month, count me in for the next one!

Have Junior order you a tortoise one direct from Robin. Might as well have the real deal.

Welcome aboard. Fair warning: Most of us used to have ONE Robin, too...

Have Junior give Allen Hill at Robin a call. I'm sure they'd be happy to switch the guard for you!
I recently got a custom Machete and wanted several items changed after I ordered (pickups, etc...) and they were great to deal with!
Also, be aware. Robins are addictive. Betcha cant have just one!

"Most of us used to have ONE Robin, too..."

Yea, I can identify with that. Especially after our trip to Allen Hill's Office/Guitar Gallery!

Oh boy, this sounds very dangerous; I started out with one PRS too, now I've got 3!

You are so screwed now!!! I started with one (as we all did) now I am looking at getting numbers 4 and 5! I have had 2 PRS guitars a CU22 and CU24, a ton of Fenders, and a handful of Gibson's (shhh, don't tell anyone about the Gibbys) and I am far more impressed with my Robins than ony of those, especially the Gibsons. These guitars to me are some of the finest quality guitars you can get PERIOD.

I can relate; when I got my Grosh, within two months I had sold all my Fenders - there is just no comparison.
