Gibson Baldwin Spirit SG

Whats the general consensus on these guitars?

Had a good old Google, pretty pants was what I was reading. Reason I asked was this is only down the road from me and I've never heard of a Spirit Gibson before.

I dunno, the seller seems to be lucky  (or bumping up the bidding), he sold this fake Squier a while back.

He also seems to find more than his fair share of guitar stuff in his house clearing activities.
I think @HarrySeven should check some of his warehouses for signs of break-ins.

Exactly what I was thinking, but he never clears anything nice, usually a load of old crap. I also think he's a little clued up regarding guitars, looking at the wording on the Squier he knew it wasn't right, I had to ask over on Squier talk before I found out it was a wrong un.

Isn't that the model that twit Henry Juszkiewicz smashed up in the Firebird X demo?

Shame he got the wrong guitar...

I dunno - I've seen one or two interesting bits and pieces from this seller over the years.

However, as you say...I also believe he's more savvy than he makes out...
