Baldwin Vibraslim

I thought this might interest some of you, after not finding anything about it when I searched - it's on permanent loan from a friend. Bit of an ugly son of a gun, with an 'interesting' tone! He's not sure when it dates from.

The body shape reminds me of a Fender Starcaster. And then there's that headstock...

Enjoy

Hmmm - interesting. I wonder what the original bridge looked like? That "Reso-Tube" replacement looks odd.....

Ah - the replacement bridge is a vibrato. Do you have the arm?

Yeah, forgot to mention that, hehe. It's been butchered, but I'm really enjoying playing it. When I get the doodah to stop the tubes rattling in my amp, I've got a few songs to record with it, i'll put up the tracks.

Oh, I didn't realise that.

No, I don't. Is that hole in the middle where it screws in? Just above the "Rezotube" logo?

Either that one or the one above and to the right of the logo.
