I believe the last one on ebay was well over a year ago....maybe longer! |

Location: Georgia USA | I remember it because it sold about the time I was buying my guitar from Samova, and I was telling him about it. He thought it should have gone for a lot more at the time. I paid more than $725 for mine, and it's not even vintage (it's NOS assembly), but I planned on playing the thing, and blue just didn't turn me on. I gotta say, though, there were tan models available too, and I just thought they were ugly.
dlnolet, to answer your post, you're not gonna find anybody to make that swap, but good luck hunting for a bluie. |

Location: south east Michigan | When I bought my Breadwinner I had all three colors in front of me to choose from. The blue looked a little to girly-girly to my 17 year old eyes and the tan was just boring. So...it was white by default. Would I have choose the blue at the time if I knew it was going to be rare? Probably not. |

Actually, it was MrGolf007 that was talking with me and mentioned how the black shiny ones with gold hardware were fetching the higher dollar amounts. |

the blue ones are just rare-er 'cause there weren't so many of 'em made . . . |
