The Baldwin label was used on Burns guitars that were built in England between 1965 and 1970. Apparently, Baldwin Piano had purchased the Burns line. While these are solid players, this guitar was not a great seeler in the US. You can tell the general production period by a couple of tell-tale items on the guitar. One of these is "since the name usually was on the pickguard this meant cutting out the Burns name and gluing a piece of pickguard material engraved with the Baldwin name over it. Once the existing Burns part were used up, the Baldwin logo was incorporated into the parts, as normal."
Another dating technique is in the shape of the headstock; The 65 Burns line initially continued intact as the Baldwin line. Depending on the model, headstocks on most of these early Baldwin guitars were in-line, on-a-side or the trademark large scroll. All Burns/Baldwin guitars had bolt on necks (except the later classical) Necks were adjustable, with access underneath the neckplate into a ”gearbox”. Fingerboard were typically unbound rosewood with pearl dot inlays.
In 1966 Baldwin took further steps to reduce costs as it hoped to boost sales. From this point on, all Baldwin guitars had the same necks rather than different headstocks based on a model. Secondly, the new necks featured a flatter version of the scroll headstock. This was easier to manufacture than the previous design, which had a real carved scroll. Finally fingerboards were bound and the triple-dot octave had three dots of the same size.
In addition, in 1966 several model underwent minor changes while the Vibraslim got a major makeover.

If you have any questions about Baldwin guitars, please direct your questions to me. I have an extensive collection of baldwin guitars, amps, and combo organs including 2 of the most prized amps...The Baldwin Exterminator! You can reach me at baldwinguitarman@aol.com. Connie just took some info out of the burns museum pages, of which i helped put together.
Are these worth anything?

: I'm trying to research the guitar manufacturing industry (how big is it, who are the major manufacturers, what are the recent trends in the industry....)
A few years ago I took in my Epiphone 12 string acoustic for some adjustments and was told that it had been damaged (I believe one of the braces required repair) because I had been tuning it same as a standard 6 string (EADGBE). The luthier advised me that most 12 strings should be tuned one whole step down (DGCFAD) due to the tremendous pressure on the neck and body. Is this true? I've taken his advice and have used a capo on the 2nd fret to adjust for playing with other guitars.
Posted by Michael McMurtrey on Thu, 04/11/2002 - 15:06.
I own a Guild D25-12 which I keep tuned down one whole step. Guild says their 12-strings can be tuned to normal concert pitch using light gauge strings, but I'm not willing to take any chances. The lower pitch also suits my voice; I'm 55-year-old bass-baritone and can't hit the same high notes I used to be able to reach 30 years ago!
Posted by Michael McMurtrey on Tue, 04/09/2002 - 15:36.
I'm interested in experimenting with "high-string" or "Nashville" tuning on my Guild D-40. Anyone have suggestions/recommendations for string brands and gauges? I normally play with a medium gauge string.
Dude, I'd start by looking at light gauge strings. Given the tension were looking at, that would be safer for your guitar. If you look at a set of lights or even extra lights, and get the gauges from there, many shops also stock individual strings, you can probably just buy the strings themselves. Otherwise buy two sets of lights or extra lights and just use the smallest strings. You may also want to consider just using a 12 string.
Sorry about the duplicate of the previous post. D'addario actually sells a set of nashville tuning strings. They're essentially the octave strings from an electric 12-string set.
I'm currently looking for a semi-hollow body acoustic/electric guitar, for roughly about 300-400 dollars. If anyone could give me suggestions on a good guitar for that range, that would be great!
Anyone know where I might be able to locate a low profile classical guitar bridge and saddle? I have an old Gibson I bought over 25 years ago and the bridge got knocked loose during a move and was lost. It's 7" wide and has no pins. The ones available at Stewart MacDonald and every where else I have looked are too high and cannot be modified to fit. This neck angle requires a very low profile bridge. I think I may have to end up making one but would much rather purchase one.
Thanks for any info,
Jeff

I am a guitarist living in Nashville, TN. I am looking for a dynamic, energetic front man. Someone that I can co-write with and is interested in getting a record deal. I know that may sound silly but I am just wanting what so many of us are looking for - the chance to do what I love to do and make a good living. I am 27 and am looking for someone that is around my age. I say that because typically younger people are just not mature enough to be focused. No offense - just most are into partying and can't maintain a professional mindset. I have awesome studio/live gear and have a Pro Tools studio in my home. I would also be up to join an existing established band.
What kind of music? I'm 32 and can sing well. Woman seem to melt at my feet when I sing. I think we may be able to do something serious together. I don't play instruments, just sing. Prefer country, but can do anything. Good with Garth songs. I'm in Chicago.

hey. I can restring and tune a floyd rose bridge just fine... but I noticed that there is only one possible key that the guitar can be in tune in, depending on the string gague. The strings that came with the guitar could tune to a perfect E, then the next set of strings I got were stuck in D-G-C-F-A-D tuning, which was fine, because at least it was a note. My newest set of strings, however, lies somewhere between D and Db. This means I can't play along with anyone else without them tuning their instruments a quarter step down. So my question is, is there any way to find out what's the proper string gague to use for my bridge? Or, even better, is there any way to get all the strings raised the quarter step? Because as it is now, the guitar will not be in tune unless the bottom string is between D and Db. Thanks to anyone who can help.
I don't know if it will help, but take a look at it anyway...
By the way, i got my guitar (also with a floyd rose bridge) tuned to a "D-A-D-G-B-E" with regular E tune strings and it never gave me any probs.
I NEED TO KNOW HOW I CAN GET THE ALLEN WRENCH BOLTS FOR MY IBANEZ FLOYD ROSE BRIDGE, THE ONES THAT HOLD THE STRINGS. THE ONES I HAVE ON MY GUITAR ARE STRIPPED OUT AND I NEED NEW BOLTS.

Re: WHAT IS VIBRATO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by cody easley on Sat, 04/13/2002 - 01:57.
its when you shake a string with your fretted finger.
DUH! you can do it with your wrist( twisting the wrist while keeping fret fingers on string) or fingers (movin' fingers back n' forth)
Re: WHAT IS VIBRATO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by georgi on Tue, 04/16/2002 - 06:44.
you dont have to bend the string very much- the wider the bend the slower the vib, and vice versa. its often used to give a warm soft feeling to notes. You can also use the vib bar ( attatched to the vib unit where the strings are held down) which i find gives a similiar effect but its harder to control............G

Re: WHAT IS VIBRATO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its when you shake a string with your fretted finger.
DUH! you can do it with your wrist( twisting the wrist while keeping fret fingers on string) or fingers (movin' fingers back n' forth)
Re: WHAT IS VIBRATO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you dont have to bend the string very much- the wider the bend the slower the vib, and vice versa. its often used to give a warm soft feeling to notes. You can also use the vib bar ( attatched to the vib unit where the strings are held down) which i find gives a similiar effect but its harder to control............G
