Location: Calgary, Alberta, Canada | Hi there , first time poster here. I have a Breadwinner that fell over and broke the "G" string tuner so I was wondering if anybody here would be able to point me in the direction of a replacement tuner?
thanks for any assistance |

Location: Utah | PNR, your guitar is now junk. Worthless in fact, since it is no longer "original". You'll have to ship it off to me for safe(r) storage. ;)
How about some pictures of that guitar?
And, welcome aboard. |

And, welcome aboard. I'd be more than happy to share some pictures but I'm pretty inept, any directions on posting pics would be greatly appreciated |

Thats a nice very early one.
I could do with the output jackplate for a Deacon I'm restoring.
I've a spare bass side one.
Lucky it didn't lose an ear when it fell.

You could always tune it up like a banjo while you're waiting. |

I do feel bad for ya, I'll give you $100 and take the guitar off your hands...
Not!
Having heard the family history and seeing the great shape its (one crash aside) that is a beautiful instrument.
I'm sure that as soon as the OFC Packrats Anaonymous Club looks in their boxes you'll be back in the saddle again!
Brad, aka Slipkid, has a similar model. |

Location: CA | By design, it seems like the BW/Deacons would easily win the Guinness category for 'guitar most likely to fall over and break itself.' Even that guitar stand arrangement looks kinda scary to this observer. Good luck on the fix. |
