Anybody Need a Baldwin clone classical? CHEAP!

[PhilHunt]

Now here's something I've never seen before....a Fender Baldwin clone. Not sure if it is a legit Fender...could be just a Fender decal on the headstock. I thought the only Baldwin clones were made by Harmony and Silvertone.

It's legit, Phil. The Fender F-1040 is pretty much the same as the Baldwin (Harmony):

So is the Regal R-220 (different bridge):

That Fender looks EXACTLY like the Harmony H177 I have.....minus the Fender logo. Thats a perfect guitar to slap one of Sam's pick-ups on!!!!! I bet it'd sound better than that $3,000/$10,000 Ebay Baldwin too.

Perhaps it's my eyes, but look at the headstock picture of that Regal guitar.. Do those strings look like they are strung normally to you?? Oddly enough, one of the comments talks about some idiot putting steel strings on his old nylon string guitar LOL Ron.

Whoever strung it obviously doesn't know much about guitars, they strung the D string on the 1st peg, A on 2nd and E on the 3rd and vice versa on the treble strings.

[RonBloor]

That's what I thought Roger, but I've been wrong once (or twice) before. LOL.. I knew a guy that messed up restringing his 12 string... Kind of made it a nightmare to tuneup

Ron, I look up to you. I distinctly remember being wrong 3 times in my life.

Phil, at the site you posted, it says the guitar is no longer available.
