The one pictured is a very similar instrument, being a 1624 with Baldwin Prismatone pickup and Glen's initials at the 12th fret. It probably eve...

BB6.jpg BB6case.jpg Here are a couple of bad but fairly recent pics of mine. I believe the Bluebird 6-string that Glen is playing in the video with Captain and Tennille is the one that I currently own. It has the smaller, Viper sized pickguard and UKII type humbucker pickups with a coil-tap switch ...
