Location: south east Michigan		Mine is a much lower serial number, all original, and fully functional.
$1400 takes it, shipping included in the CONUS.

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest		It's interesting that they went through the trouble of a custom pickguard, but it's the wrong one for the guitar. Zoom in on the pickguard and you will see that it has the whole for the jack to go on the face, but it's one of the early guitars with the jack on the end.

Overall, a really nice looking guitar, just a couple of what I would consider odd choices.

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		I didn't mean to be rude to the poor guy...
And I am not saying that a vintage BW ain't worth a Grand.

by Old Man Arthur:
This guy has a LOT of optimism.
But the listing gives you a history of BW's and Deacons and LTD's and Toroidal p'ups and mini-humbuckers...
But none of that matters to this one which has who-knows-what kind of p'ups that are not Ovation.
And ain't this missing some switches?
(nice kitty)


And while I am posting pics...


I looks pretty, but... [the little "Ovation" plaque on the 18th fret is interesting]

Location: Connersville, Indiana		Slipkid, I looked at your BW. Wow I would love to have one but can not afford it. I would have to sell my white UKll, and I'm not going to do that. I can always dream.

Location: Upper Left USA		And this one looks a little closer to the family tree but what is the little gadget?

Breadwinner #2 on Ebay


I will bid a couple of hundred on the first one but only in the hopes of saving it.

Location: Upper Left USA		I was thinking Thumb Rest with a creeping suspicion of some kind of "B Bender" or similar trick do-dad - which may even make it more desirable depending on the history that we rarely get!

From looking at a couple of the pics of the side, he should ask more, cause it's reliced.
