Topic: Guitars at the Stamford, CT show.

Saw Joe last night in Stamford, CT. It was amazing, as you would expect! Joe played two guitars that I was not familiar with. The first one looked to me to be a Fender Robben Ford Model? The second was the acoustic he played. It looked to be a Koa top, back and sides, in a Grand Auditorium size. Would appreciate and info anyone might have on these two guitars.

Thanks,
Joe big_smile

No one knows the makers of either of these two guitars?

You guys are good. It's a 1990 USA made Robben Ford.  Signed!!  I know Robben but didn't ask him.  It was there when I bought it.  cool

The other...I think someone mentioned it last month...I cannot remember it now - I'll try to dig it up.

Re: Guitars at the Stamford, CT show.

I am pretty sure it must be an Alvarez Yarie WY1K though I think it must be custom version.  I was in the second row in Tucson  on February 22nd and he played the same all flame koa guitar.  The headstock logo was abalone and I don't think the standard version is made that way (at least that is what the Alvarez website shows).
