GALLERY: Rich Robinson's 2013 Touring Gear

Check out what Rich Robinson brought out on tour with the Black Crowes—everything from relic’d Gibsons and Japanese Zemaitis models to a few Gretschs and Teles.

This 1962 Gibson SG reissue was relic'd by Cobra Guitars (this luthier does a lot of work for Robinson). Thankfully it survived a beating the band's warehouse took from Hurricane Sandy because it was stored in an old plastic Gibson case from the '70s and it floated to the top of the pile. Robinson tunes this guitar to open-G and puts a capo on the third fret for "No Speak, No Slave."

As head of Breedlove and Bedell Guitars, he’s championed sustainability and environmental causes—and he wants to tell you about it.

As the owner of the Breedlove and Bedell guitar companies, Tom Bedell has been a passionate advocate for sustainable practices in acoustic guitar manufacturing. Listening to him talk, it’s clear that the preservation of the Earth’s forests are just as important to Bedell as the sound of his guitars. You’ll know just how big of a statement that is if you’ve ever had the opportunity to spend time with one of his excellently crafted high-end acoustics, which are among the finest you’ll find. Over the course of his career, Bedell has championed the use of alternative tonewoods and traveled the world to get a firsthand look at his wood sources and their harvesting practices. When you buy a Bedell, you can rest assured that no clear-cut woods were used.
