Burns / Baldwin Vibraslim Semi Acoustic
Posted by Rhys on Fri, 01/28/05 - 17:46:00.
Guys
Hoping for some help on this one..........
I've got a Burns or Baldwin Vibraslim Semi Acoustic which I want to use as a back up to my gigging Gibson. I've trawled the net but come up with little information, especially as the colour is ( I think) unusual - the closest I can describe it is a Trans Amber as seen on the latest Les Paul Standard but slightly lighter. It's a great guitar and when both pick ups are in use, the sound is similar, if not louder, than the Les Paul
I picked it up in 1981 for ÃÂã5 (!) but for years didn't use it because:
a) It didn't sound right ( later discovered it was the cheap amp I was using at the time and not the guitar)
b) It didn't look like a Strat or Les Paul ( hey, I was young!!)
Any info at all would be appreciated - there is a serial number of 21655 on it - Made In England.

Hi Rhys,
I have a 1965 Burns/Baldwin catalog on my website VintAxe.com. The catalog features the Vibraslim and should be a good source of information for you. SB
