Skinny,

Baden Guitars just wants to stop by and say Hi! I love the music by the way!

We are now located in Austin, TX. Strait Music is a fantastic full on dealer for us. They have our entire line of acoustic/electrics and will help you out with whatever you might need wood or style.


Casey is the manager there. He is very knowledgeable with our entire line of Baden's.
We do have a large amount of selection there and would like you playing a Baden someday! It's unique, different, gives you your own identity, and tone!

Let me know if there is anything I can help you with.
If you would like the specs and or story of Baden guitars, feel free to contact me at my information below!


Sincerely,

Kevin Hall
