Baldwin 6 string elec guitar

Post by David Cobb »

I'm curious about the value of this model, called Reso-tube or Vibralism, I'm not sure which. If someone who has a little knowledge of these guitars would send an email to me I would be grateful. The guitar was a hollow body electric with F-holes, made in England. It said Baldwin/Vibralism on the head stock and Reso-tube near the tailpiece and Baldwin on the body. Seemed to be original. Didn't have but a minute to look it over so I didn't get a serial number. I searched the Web for info, but there is little to none. Next stop for info, I guess, would be Gruhn's.

According to the "Vintage Guitar Price Guide", the Baldwin "Vibraslim" was manufactured from '65 to '70...double cutaway semi-hollowbody, 2 F-holes, and twin pickups, with a vibrato tailpiece. Value...$300-$600.

Haha, thanks for correcting me on that, it is Vibraslim. Finally found more info after searching Burns guitars, which ended up being bought by Baldwin. Thanks.
