Location: Houston, TX | I thought I remembered w2 saying the blue BW's were primarily props and not really good playing guitars. Am I thinking of something else?

Location: Scotland | I think CWK2 said there were some really early pre-production BW's that were props for the Fartridge Pamily. The Blue era Breadwinners, apart from the pickups, plain neck plate & battery cover & position of the output jack, were pretty much the same as the later ones.

Location: North Carolina, USA | If the serial number was not on the neck plate then where was it? Does anyone know the year when Ovation started putting the serial number on the neck plate? Would this information hold true for all Ovation solid bodies including the Magnum bass?
So much to learn.......So little time. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | The props were about 6 of red white and bleu. made in the middle of the b'weiner's life span. The blue breads were regular production and are the rarest color. The tan is next. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | As far as I know (and I have close to 100 solid bodies) ALL of the serial's were on the neck plates with the exception of the PF-22's which were on the edge of the headstock. I also don't recall where they were on the Ultra GP without looking. However, several of the prototypes were not serialized. There are also some guitars out there that were "repaired" and as neck plates cannot be had.... the repairs would not have serial numbers. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Not married... already proven a few times that is not one of my stronger vocations. No kids... too selfish. Lisa and I borrow a friends kids once a month or so, just to remind ourselves that we don't want any of our own. Other peoples kids you can play with, spoil with treats, then return to their owner when done.

Location: puerto vallarta, mexico | grandkids are like that too miles. its fun watching the "what goes around comes around" in play. we get to spoil tyler and then send him home with noisey toys and bad habits. no wonder he wants to live with us on the beach. NO WAY! BEEN THERE--DONE THAT.
so i guess my black breadwinner with a heart on the headstock, eagle painted on the back and dice for knobs isnt a rare factory issue? what a project that one will be. pre amp was removed but it plays fine. if i play it in a dark club of learn some punk or grunge tunes (hard to call them that when they dont at all sound in tune) maybe it will be ok as is. i am working on some photos for the site but am far from having anything as cool as string dreams from our tejas amigo markito. kinda hard to follow a virtuoso performance of "voodo child" with some chuch berry 12 bar. i do have some very cool ovations here in mexico though 1/2 of my herd is still pasturing in new mexico. i do have the brown bird 12 string here and the adamas ss 12 string prototype too. i brought 13 more with me this time (good border story), but dont have all of my ukII,s here yet. please hang in there. i'll get it together, though i'm back on mexico time and the club opens again in about 2 weeks. |
