Robben Ford collaborated with Fender on the Esprit Ultra, a guitar designed to rival Gibson's semi-hollow models. Ford influenced the guitar's wood choices and design, preferring it over the Gibson ES-335 he previously used. He featured it on his 1988 album "Talk to Your Daughter." The Esprit Ultra, initially a custom model, was later produced as a Fender Custom Shop Robben Ford model. It was built on the Esprit/Flame platform and aimed for a blues-jazz fusion sound.
