Robin Guitars was a boutique guitar manufacturer located in Houston, Texas, which operated from 1982 to 2010. The company was formed in 1982 by Dave Wintz who owned the Rockin' Robin Guitar Shop at the time. Robin guitars were made in Japan by Tokai and Chushin until 1986, when their production moved to the United States.[1] Notable endorsers include Stevie Ray Vaughan and his brother Jimmie, who were frequently seen onstage with the "RDN" 6-string standard neck/6 string octave neck double-neck guitar in the 1980s. Eric Johnson has played them, and Stevie Blaze of Lillian Axe also played Robin guitars during the early part of his career.[2] Robin guitars and basses have featured pickups from their sister company, Rio Grande Pickups since 1994.[3] Robin Guitars announced on its website that it stopped production of guitars as of December 1, 2010; although production of Rio Grande Pickups continues.
