Robben Ford Discussion

what pickups does robben have on his sunburst les paul and what does he use for the tele...thanks

[Red Suede]

I spoke with Robben at Yoshi's last Week. Actually, I helped him pick out that very Les Paul at Guitar Center. Long story. Anyhow, he said he switched out the 57 Classics (which sounded very good by the way) for Burstbuckers. He didn't say which ones. They also can be coil tapped. He said he always does that, but that particular guitar would sound great with any pickups in it, it was just a really good one.

On the Tele pups, Daved said in an earlier post that they were rewound by Lindy Fralin to original specs.

i think only the neck pick-up has been rewound but i could be wrong..

That may be right, Johan, but I think it's correct that they are both original specs.
