Perhaps you should try to be a little more specific? |

Nylon bridge on the BW so it's an early one.
Why you selling? |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Based on current sales....one that is mint with all original workings might go for $800-900. With out that probably $700-750 range.
My guess on age would probably be '72 or '73. |

Is the circuit board in original condition? |

Location: arlington, texas | when i plug in, it does nothing, but give it a good shake it clicks in and out. ive opened her up to see what the deal was but cant find the problem. ive talked with some people and they say its not uncommon for the pickups to go out (seeing as they are over 30 years old). everyone ive talked with say its best to replace them with some newer humbuckers. |

Location: Upper Left USA | If you replace the original pickups you will cut the "value" in at least half. A rewind or repair may be done.
I wouldn't put in other humbuckers, although there are a few that sound great (see my gallery).
Can you send your pictures to my email address?
I have (or soon will) what may be needed to bring this back to original.
No money but I could work some trade. |

Location: Upper Left USA | Nick,
Are you strictly looking for cash or could you use a working guitar?
Just my opinion and hoping that I get corrected or backed up. A clean looking early White Breadwinner in non working but relative stock condition, with case has an Ebay value of about $300-$400. I don't think the early models are more sought after than the later. The older ones died out sooner.
Fully functional and clean may garnish $600-$800.
Do you have a need for a fully running guitar? I have a Breadwinner running Air Norton HB's with a pull out switch (partial/full pickup) and blender swicth. Excellent neck and reliable electronics. |
