First little history lesson about Baldwin and Burns guitars. Than a little dismantle part and last comes pickup/sound testing part.
The Vibraslim was a Burns double-cutaway semi-hollowbody introduced in ’64. Unlike, say, an ES-335, this had a slightly extended upper cutaway and there was a slight taper to the bass bout, giving it a little more dynamic feel. A solid wood core extended down the center of the guitar, with hollow wings on the side and a pair of f-holes. These early Baldwin semi-hollow Vibraslims had a bit of a point on the treble horn; later hollowbodies had a more rounded horn. The head was the flared three-and-three as found on the G.B. guitars. Two ring-mounted Ultra-Sonic pickups were controlled by one volume, two tone, and a presence control, all mounted as thumbwheels along the bottom edge of the elevated pickguard. A three-way select was also mounted in the pickguard. The Vibraslim had an adjustable metal compensated bridge and a top-mounted Mk. 9 vibrato, looking somewhat like a Hagstrom, but operating with a bar and handle assembly attached to a spring under a humped housing behind the bar. These came in a red sunburst finish.
This is not an early one so there are some differences, but nice to know info about Vibraslims.
Rezo-Tube tremolo that lets you hold notes and chords up to 20 seconds. Each string is terminated inside an own tube. Harmonics generated by the strings can't cancel out each other.

Wow, so much low end from the bridge pickup! Very full!! This is nothing like so many 60's guitars. Also, Lenny Breau played one of these early on. Thanks for the vid.

Hi, your video is súper good! what is the average price?

I think that these guitars sit for a long time and many are overpriced. The body shape is an acquired taste. I kind of like it. It looks like something that the Shaggs might have played.The pickups sound good, but perhaps not as special as a Baldwin Burns Split Sound.
