The Gibson Baldwin Les Paul guitars were produced during the period when Baldwin Piano Company owned the Gibson Guitar Corporation, specifically from 1969 to 1972. This era marked a transition for Gibson, and the Baldwin Les Pauls were notable for some variations in construction and materials compared to earlier models. After Baldwin sold Gibson in the early 1970s, the production of Les Pauls returned to more traditional methods.
Original Les Pauls are Gibson (Gibsun?) instruments. If you mean region, Gibson is an American company.
