Location: SoCal | Now here, I agree with Al. I'm all for a bit of snickering about the seller, but I'm not going to start sending emails. The best thing is to let him find his price. And if he keeps setting it too high, well then, he'll just give us more to snicker about. But let's leave him alone. |

Location: Las Cruces, NM | Just a little support for Miles. I am broke and can't afford anything right now, but I've always wanted a Breadwinner. If my lawyer were to suddenly present me with a nice accident settlement and all the Breadwinners were gone, $2400 would not seem like too much to pay for a guitar that will never be produced again in my short lifetime. If I can get one cheaper, fine, but I don't have the money right now.

BTW Paul, I didn't really think all you nutz would all e-mail him, I was making a point. I e-mailed him to remind him that this is a Franken-Breadwinner....and to see if he would take less. LOL!!
Lest I remind the roaring crowd, I have owned and collected nothing BUT Ovations since 1967. Don't you think I want to see the value go up on my own collection?
So pipe down you goobers!! :D ;) It was a phuqen joke! |

What will you do if we let you go home,
And the plastic’s all melted,
And so is the chrome?
Who are the brain police?
Aahh ah ahahahaaa, aahh ah ahahahaaa
What will you do when the label comes off,
And the plastic’s all melted,
And the chrome is too soft?
Aaahhh!
Think I’m very tired and I’m going to die
I think I’m going to die, I think I’m going to die
Who are the brain police?
Aahh ah ahahahaaa, aahh ah ahahahaaa
What will you do if the people you knew
Were the plastic that melted,
And the chromium too?
Who are the brain police? |

Location: Georgia USA | Well, this topic has given me a new point of view. When I saw the guitar on ebay, I just laughed to myself at the guy, but I was thinking about my Deacon. I paid a fair price, maybe even low, but if somebody came up to me and said "What would you take for that guitar?", I think I'd say something high like that for the same reason... I'd rather not part with it, and I'm surely not going to lose it for $700.
And I know a lot of you are really acoustic guys, but am I missing something? Is there a mention of Deacons and Breadwinners on ovationguitarsdotcom that I just haven't found?

In the very early seventies I bought a new Balladeer and new Breadwinner. I can't see ever parting with them. If you go to the OFC link page there UK site dedicated to just Breadwinners.

Location: Georgia USA | Oh, I've been all over the Breadwinner Fanpage. I just thought it odd that the official Ovation site doesn't cover them.

Location: south east Michigan | Breadwinners are just a part of history for Ovation. Perhaps it is viewed as a failure. They were ahead of their time, thats for sure.
