What Changed in 1967
Baldwin acquires Gretsch. Initial production continues in Brooklyn with the existing workforce. Early Baldwin Country Gentlemen are often indistinguishable from pre-Baldwin examples.
Collector's Notes
Baldwin year but still Brooklyn factory production. These can be good instruments — the dividing line is sharp in the market but gradual in actual quality.
