Hi Dave

I was wondering if Robben used his Tele on all the tracks for the ' Blue Moon' CD ? I just love his tone on BM. thanks

The Tele was used heavily on that album (In fact, I would say that that was the near the start of his Tele-as-main-axe period) but, as with the recording of all his albums in recent years, there were nearly a dozen guitars for him to pick and choose from, plus a variety of amps. I don't remember now which guitars and amps were used for which songs, but he did record with several of each in varying combinations.

Les Paul & Tele, depending upon what song he's playing (although he does have a new Baker that will be seeing service in the near future... possibly Yoshi's, if Toru finishes tinkering with it for Robben, before I pick up the gear tomorrow morning).
