Registrace 24. 10. 2013
Maker and player of fine guitars. I’ve been making, playing, and recording guitars for over 40 years. I currently own Baxendale Guitar in Athens, Ga. 706-546-1116. We specialize in the green tech of remanufacturing old American made department store guitars. With our proprietary process we transform these old inexpensive instruments into new vintage world class guitars. Rather than making new guitars look old by faux relic’ing we do the opposite and take old guitars and make them structurally new again yet keeping the cosmetics of a well played guitar. With our tuned proprietary scalloped X bracing these guitars compare in sound to instruments costing much more, and they often have the mojo and tone comparing to vintage guitars costing thousands more.

That guitar is as sweet as honey. The various woods are exquisite and artistically various. The sound is warm and melidious.
Amazing sound! You, gentlemen, do amazing work! ❤
Wow! Outstanding! ❤
Having recently got a 1910 Washburn 1-15, a 1933 Kalamazoo KG-11, and a 1963 Martin (5-16) all 'refurbished', (not to the extent that yours are done,) but all brought up to perfect playability; I can attest to the excellent value these represent. I'd be buying one if I didn't already have most of my guitar bases covered, and also because I'm getting old and my playing days are numbered. But what a great opportunity for one to get a real vintage guitar with all its issues already solved. No guesswork or risk-taking, as it's all been done ahead of time for you! And it's as "green" an approach to guitar building as I've ever seen! :)
@@PaisleyPatchouli Thank you!
I'm familiar w/ Rickenbacker 12 String Guitars.
It has a nice ring to it
Sounds great
How much does it cost ?
@@patrickevelyn8028 $1795.00 which includes a new hard case and new guitar warranty. This one has been sold but we have several other H165’s available just like it to purchase.
@@scottbaxendale323 thank you
@@scottbaxendale323 Where are they available to purchase?
@@wildesquirewww.staygoldguitars.com/baxendaleconversions
Yes, a premium example.
I am 70, been playing violin since about 8, got some guitars and more violins when I hit about 40. What motivates me about instruments is the sound, or tone, or the interwoven vibrations or whatever word is appropriate. I have big problems with humidity, I live in Los Angeles and it swings between 50 to 61 per cent with a dehumidifier running constantly. Anyway,,, when I hear a certain tone it grabs me and I want to own it. I have a half dozen of those Harmony's, one is pretty good and I play it, it does not sound like the one in this video, but the other thing is, it feels clunky, like the fingerboard is too wide maybe,, I don't know. Whoever reads this,,, trust me: THAT guitar is a major winner. Send the money and put a smile on your face for many years.
Price on average? Sounds like a couple thousand
@@cugir321 they range in price from $850-3000 depending on model, age, woods, etc. The H1260 Sovereign sells for $2300 with a new case and new guitar warranty. See our inventory at www.staygoldguitars.com/baxendaleconversions
What a killer acoustic
Weight?
Light
Interesting. I owned one. But what about adding an adjustable truss?
@@winstonoboogie2424 the later years have adjustable rods, but the steel reinforced neck models sound better. These necks have done all the twisting and warping they are going to do being over 50 years old. Once we plane them straight and do our neck magic they are extremely stable to the point we give a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser for playability. One some models we do install graphite reinforcement rods, but only if we are replacing the fingerboard.
I am blown away by the tone. And I have owned and played vintage Martins, Gibsons, etc. Wonder how much this would cost?
These are $1795.00 with a new hard case.
@@scottbaxendale323 Thank you.
oooh, this one's a standout in tone, clarity, and finish!
Thanks. It’s a nice one.
Sweet!
Thanks!
Gorgeous! ❤
Bravo Wonderfool
Thx Mr Baxendale. Great sounding guitar.
I'd like to hear better recording set up with mics placed in front of the guitars as a fairer comparison.
@@redrock1963 here is another video of the same model with studio mics. czcams.com/video/cex3VszTPbg/video.htmlsi=TjrER0euFcazJSeq
FAB!
Pristine sounding guitar! ❤
Beauty Scott…sounds great…..does it have the Cuban ‘hog ?
@@Les3201 it’s a Supertone with Honduras.
That is the best sounding Mandocello I've heard! Although they have some role in more modern verisions of Irish Traditional Music, it's a rare find this side of the Atlantic, and I've not come across one as fine as that.
@@simoncroft Thanks! They do sound great. These can be strung and tuned a bunch of different ways. As a mandocello, an octave mandolin, a tenor banjo, a bouzouki, or just the top 4 strings on a guitar. I like them tuned in 5ths starting with D on the low string. We currently have this one available. $1695.00 w pickup and case. I’ve sold three of these to folks in the UK.
I potentially have one (in the EU) which I would be willing to part with Simon. Can we get in touch somehow?
@@Chronic_Town Thank you for the offer, but I'm more interested in selling than buying at the moment.
Like the sound!!
that's a boomer right there-dig it!
@@firecrackerheart …..I’m a Boomer too,….lol.
@@scottbaxendale323 lols, i know. i was definitely "2 birds'n" it on that comment .. . ;)
Beautiful! Wow! It’s ready to be put to work! ❤
Wow! Very good! I love it! 👍🏻❤
Thank you! Cheers!
sounds nice
Beautiful instrument, beautiful sounding instrument! ❤
That’s a beauty !
could not find this guitar on your website. Is it for sale? Price? specs
It is a customer owned guitar. We do both: we sell remanufactured guitars from our inventory and people send us their guitars to rebuild. Unfortunately, this one is not currently for sale. The guy we rebuilt it for may want to resell it though.
Sounds superb!
Man, who would have ever thought that a Kay guitar could sound so good? Nobody, except for Scott Baxendale who knew that the potential of the quality woods used + his magic touch would equal to such marvelous World Class Tone! How great this guitar sounds! Thank you for sharing! ❤
As for myself, that Harmony Baxendale Conversion is such a pristine guitar. True, the Martin has a nice, deep rich tone (at a very expensive cost), while the Harmony has a brighter, but equally rich tone. I prefer the Baxendale Conversion over that beautiful sounding Martin. Just my opinion though. 💖
Definitely World Class Tone! So beautiful! ❤
Maybe it’s just me listening thru my phone but the Martin has a resonance about it
The Martin is over three times the price of the h162 conversion. $6k vs $1795.00 The point is about the comparison. Try listening through headphones.
Very cool! Great meaningful lyrics and love the guitar playing Scott!
Sounds great !
That is a cool sound.
Thanks so much!
Every sound except the drums are guitars.
Had to stop by and subscribe to your channel. Cool cat and the cat too. ;)
Please tell me the name of your son. Would he build a guitar for me? Cheers
John C Baxendale. He builds guitars in Durango, Co. Colorado Guitar Comapny. He sells them through Mass Street Music in Lawerence Ks, and the Great American Guitar Co, in Nashville.

Great Scott ‼️ Yes Sir 💯
Hi Scott, do you still do your six-for-one trade?
Yes, but certain lower end models don’t really qualify, so email pictures to us.
@@scottbaxendale323 thanks for the quick reply! I just picked up a 1950s 3/4 Kay and remembered Warren Huart raving about your work!
@@owdeguy Send a picture of it. Some of those Kay’s make great mandocello’s. These are very popular and sound fantastic! I’m buying those.
What guitar company in the 60’s was mass producing acoustic instruments 🤔
Is that a trick question? Martin, Gibson, Fender, Goya, Eko, Hofner, Vega, are just a few. Those were all big factories. Mossman produced between 4-9 guitars per week, and at the time there was only Gurian, Gallagher, and Mossman. Mossman started in 67.
@@scottbaxendale323 no it’s was a real question. Thank you for answering it. I’m not very educated on guitar building. Guess most of these companies quit making quality instruments in the 60’s.
@@stonephilips9361 That’s not exactly true. However, the quality and quantity of guitars during the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’, have a direct correlation with the guitar boom era which began in 1958 and peaked in 1980. Gibson’s quality began to suffer, especially on acoustics, around 1960. Martin’s quality never dropped off, but in 1969 they switched from Brazilian rosewood to Indian rosewood which is considered inferior wood, but isn’t really inferior.
@@scottbaxendale323 Thanks for info, really enjoyed the movie 🙏
Great sound!!!
yeahman, those trebles are fat, round, and ringin' .. . what a lovely instrument!
Such a sweet sounding guitar! 💖💖
Beautiful !
