That's the Sakashta, built by a Japanese-American luthier. Others can tell you more about it, but it is a beautiful instrument. I just hope that I spelled it right.

The guitar that you see on his home page (Blond one) is the one that belongs to Robben. He does not care for UBER top like most peeps do, me included, so he had Sakashta san to refinish the guitar to darker color. It is NOT black, btw.

He feels that having a killer top would interfere with his music as some people will pay more attention to his guitar than the sound that is emanating from. What a consummate professional, indeed.

Yes, looks very much like the site's down for some reason.

Apparently, there is a mechanical problem that lies within the server. It should get back up in due time, I hope. Sad
