He also has a reissue rosewood tele built for him by the Fender Custom Shop, plus a B Bender equipped Tele and Fender Electric XII.
Robinson's most renowned guitar is the natural finish '68 Telecaster he's been associated with for years. The Crowes fetishism is legendary, and the recording of Three Snakes saw the band dusting off some old favorites as well as breaking in some new tools. Glaser lived up to his world renowned reputation as one of the world's best luthiers and worked his magic on it, restoring it to its original glory without any issues. Nashville's Joe Glaser of Glaser Instruments very carefully repaired the original cone to its original state. The guitar's original cone was damaged at some point during the last Black Crowes tour. Sometime in the mid-2000s, Rich had a pickup installed on the guitar and used it live on the last few Black Crowes' tours, including all of the sessions at Levon Helm's Midnight Ramble in Woodstock, New York, in 2009. Rich loved it so much he would eventually use it on every Black Crowes's studio album thereafter – including on such songs at "Hotel Illness" and "Wiser Time". He purchased it sometime in the early 1990s, and first used it during the recording sessions for the Black Crowes' album The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion. This guitar, a single cone resonator with a steel body and wood neck, is a C serie model owned by guitarist Rich Robinson of the Black Crowes. This was National's basic and least expensive resonator guitar model at the time. This is a great sounding single cone National which was produced in large quantities due to the low price at that moment in time ($32.50 brand new). They had either Squareneck (D), or Roundneck (C). The National Duolian Resonator guitars where produced between 1930 to 1938.
