Can anybody enlighten me as to what kind of acoustics Robben uses?

On the Authorized Bootleg and when he was touring for Supernatural he was using one of those Fender Strat like things with a bolt on neck that are one a couple inches thick. Don't know what he uses to record with. Probably some sick vintage Martin or something.

I remember an interview in a Dutch magazine when Supernatural came out. He told he used a Guild for this album. The nylon string guitar he used was a hand-build beginners guitar he got from Ann for his birthday!
So, no exp. Martin there!
I would be nice if Daved gave us some clues in this matter!

As far as I remenber he used a Carvin ac275 or ac 175 for the authorized bootleg record. I even think Robben told me that after a show here in Denmark.

Thought it looked like a Carvin also from some of the pics.

It was a Carvin on the Authorized Bootleg. I believe I heard him say it was really neck heavy. I've also seen him use a nylon with Anne, but I don't remember what it was.

Definitely a Carvin on the Authorized Bootleg, recorded some years ago up at Yoshi's in Oakland. Carvin sells the album as a promo on their web site. (They also sell an interested album by Ventures founder Nokie Edwards, playing Carvin solid-bodies.) Hear Robben play a classical guitar backing up Anne at a concert at LA's John Anson Ford Amphitheatre two summers ago. Wonder if it was the "birthday" guitar?
