Blue is about as rare as you can get for a breadwinner. maybe around 50, I could easily be wrong though. peace

They were white, black, blue and tan. Later they were the natural satin and the barnboard satin. This is an origianl one, this blue.
There were some made for the Parfish family for props but they were a different blue.

The Partridge Blue breadwinner had a white pickguard and truss rod cover (which actually sets off the blue color a lot better imho.) I always assumed that's why the color looked more like a slightly deeper cobalt blue than the sky blue of these. At any rate, the blues were really close, just a matter of how much of the white they added to it. There still are two blues in the Polane lineup.

There were also one each blue "eclipse" and offwhite "eclipse" typhoon IV basses in the textured polane. Possibly a black textured one that might have been used in only one episode, to go with the black breadwinner. Also a blue eclipse storm guitar.

While we're on the subject, if anyone in Vegas has serious spray painting cabability (compressor and room) e-mail me offlist.

Thanks!

Les

Re: Blue Breadwinner, I asked John Budny about it. He thought there were fewer than 100 made, probably closer to 50. Does anyone have more information on the blue Breadwinner? Why was it discontinued? Why was it put out in the first place?

Was the regular Breadwinner ever issued with the metallic gray color like the Breadwinner Limited?

I don't think so.
