Farm out .... Looks like a wacked out Burns Bison

I bet it sounds great with the pickup combination ....

What's with the soundhole? Semi-Hollow?

Totally cool & Bizarre AX.

I've never seen or heard of one of those, and I've been getting Robin catalogs since '82. When did they make them, for how long, and how many were produced? The Artisan/Soloist was at least in catalogs, but I'll bet Shamans are a lot rarer! One of a kind?

there are three, two six's and a twelve.

we call this one the prototype.

the other six has a true sound hole, and firebird-style pegs(straight out of the back of the headstock), and different bindings.
all are neck-thru!!!

locking tuners, titanium...

the twelve string is ... indescribable.
never heard or seen anything else like it, ever.

i have seen the other two recently.

i will see if i can get some pics, they are well gaurded... ;)
