Baldwin Years - Gretsch [message #18821] Thu, 06 June 2013 14:41   bands621 Messages: 6 Registered: March 2013 Location: Virginia Junior Member There was a May 29, 2013 article on the Gretsch website about the years the Gretsch brand was owned by Baldwin: 1967-1985. Those were not very successful years for the Gretsch brand. That article also said "Baldwin bought the Kustom amplifier company in 1979, but a pairing of it with Gretsch proved both futile and short lived." I thought I had seen references on this site to Baldwin taking over Kustom around 1971 when Ross left Kustom. Can anybody clarify or correct the differences in dates? thanks!
