Extremely rare Baker B1 Bluesman NAMM from 2001.  This was made by Gene during his early days.  It is essentially a RF or Robben Ford model.  The instrument features a carved SPRUCE top with Mahogany body & Neck.  Ebony board.  24.625″ Scale & 12″ Radius.  Nice full C neck profile.  Med/Lg frets (according to my eyes).  Comes with the Cert & Original Case & Unsigned Warranty Card.

You can see all the specs/condition in the attached sheet. The most notable flaw is a finish crack (shown in pictures) near the lead pickup volume knob.  It looks like the knob at some point had been pushed in a bit (although it’s stable and does not appear to be broken.  Aside from that this is very clean.

Tonally you WILL notice a proufound difference with the Spruce top.  Very smooth sounding guitar with nice present highs.  The notes are full and singing.  Smooth is the only word that comes to mind but without the associated dullness that one typically associates with that description
