Robben Ford Discussion

Back in the day, this blog would be all over Robben's guitars. Especially a different one.
I'm seeing pics of RFs Eurpoean tour where he's playing a black Strat, in addition to his Tele and Epi.

Anyone know any details of the Strat?

Heard it is an SVL strat, built by Simon Law, Matt Schofield's tech, who was teching for Robben on this european tour if I understood everything correctly.

And indeed there is not much happening here anymore...

Thanks Pierre! The pics were not detailed enough to see the headstock, so I assumed it was a Fender.
Good to know about the SVL.

And yeah, pretty dead. Remember when we had to know everything about the gear, down to the strings, pots, settings, etc.

Look for a video on YouTube to find a clip of this Strat. Sounds unsurprisingly great.
