This was the top of the line model when first released and is very similar to the one Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics uses . This model was very expensive when new and was produced for only a couple of years in very limited numbers and was built as the perfect electro acoustic. This gorgeous electro acoustic was made in Japan and features a stunning quilted maple back and sides, as well as quilted maple arched top .
What sets this guitar apart from your standard electro acoustic is the unique pickup configuration which makes it the ideal live instrument . The electronics include a humbucker pick up disguised as the two last frets on the neck and piezo pickup under the bridge. The EQ allows you to select either or blend the two pickups . This guitar has two 1/4" jacks to giving you the option for stereo output or you can use either or both as you prefer .
As per this article, David A Stewart owned a Robin Octave guitar - he is also pictured with this guitar on the front cover of the magazine the article is sourced from. He used this guitar around the time of Be Yourself Tonight.
"A guy came up to me after a gig in America and said, 'I bet you'll like this, I've just made it,' and I've been playing it ever since. It starts an octave higher than a normal guitar, and for some of the stuff I play on it, like the riff from 'Right By Your Side', you'd be off the edge of the fretboard on a normal guitar.
According to this article from 1985, David A Stewart had a Guild 12-string guitar. It appears on "Aqua", where the bass line is blended with the 12-string
"It's really beautiful. I've had it about eight years. I chose the one I wanted and Guild inlayed my name on it for me. All acoustic guitars seem to be different, even if they're all off the same production line. I've never played two that were the same."
