Location: Houston, TX | Need some help understanding...The Breadwinner project guitar currently listed on Ebay shows a serial # of 1028. According to the Research section of this site, that would indicate manufacture in '67-'68. I thought the Breadwinners were introduced in '72. What am I missing?
Thanks. |

Location: Atlanta,Ga. | The reference guide does not apply to the solid body's..They had their own set of serial numbers.It is a 72 and some of the early nameplates with three digit and four digit did not have the "E" desination on the neckplate..The later ovation logo neckplate had the E before the serial number..I have seen several early neckplates without the E....The guitar cannot be before 1972 since thats when they were introduced. |

Where can I find more information about the serial
numbering system of solid body guitars? I recently
bought a Preacher 12-string, and the serial number
isn't covered by the 'Cracking the Ovation Code'
page at the Ovation site.
The serial number is: E 18500 |
