How much is a 1966 Baldwin virginian guitar worth?

Answer 1

Whatever a buyer will offer that an owner will accept to part with it, eh? I bought my 1966 from Ring music in Toronto, Ontario in 1985 for $280 + 3% sales tax. The original case was a mess, but I found a used acoustic hardshell case that does the job nicely. Shortly thereafter I met a guy at Reggie's Music in Hamilton who said he had one in his trunk, and "wouldn't part with it for 2 grand". I have a buddy who knows a guy who owns one (I set it up for him, but he was not ready to part with it at the time), so there are some around (between $300 and $2000), and that's my answer to your question. As for the guitar itself - fantastic!!! Mine had deep weather cracking on the top panel which affected neither the playability nor the sound (like a vintage Tele, the bridge pick-up will part your hair at 90 paces, eh?) Rafe
