      Hello. Im looking for some info on the breadwinner limited. I have an original that is in wonderful shape. My grandfather gave it to me when i was a child and it has been stored for years. I placed it for sale on craigslist, and was surprised at the response i recieved. I guess i didnt know what i had. The only thing that is wrong with it is that one screw cover for a key is missing. Other than that flawless. Any information on this is greatly appreciated.

  3. Ovation Breadwinner
    Ronnie Williams

    I have a Classic White Ovation Breadwinner. All original parts. Never painted or repaired. Serial E00741. It looks exactly like a Final Prototype I have seen on another site. Original Case as well. Case is a sort of flimsey Black with red interior, the shape of the Guitar.

      Do you have any pics you can forward? What condition is the neck/frets? Any dings, scratches, cracks, etc anywhere on the guitar? How much are you asking?
      Thanks

    Mark

    I have the opportunity to purchase 16 ovation collectors guitars from 1982 to 1997 for $18,000. I did not look at all the serial numbers but the ones I looked at were usually numbered in the 500’s and 600’s. Please advise.
    Thanks.

  5. Ovation deacon parts.
    Auke Smit

    I’m lloking for the complete electronics, bridge and pickguard for an Ovation Deacon. The rest of the guitar is in perfect condition so I will try to build it up again.

  6. Ovation necks
    Chris

    Ok I have a stupid question…

    What type of adhesive did/does Ovation use to attach it’s necks? I have an oval back 12 string that has had the headstock broken off so many times that there is very little hope to save it again (assuming it breaks again, which I’m sure it will!). I would like to take a stab at replacing the neck, if I can find another that needs a new home. I am an intermediate woodworker, and feel confident that I could do it, if it’s not epoxied on. Somebody please tell me it’s on there with Hide Glue!!!

    I have an Ovation Breadwinner which I probably want to sell, it depends on the offers that are made. It is not a collectors item, it was played throughout the years. The guitar was professionally refinished by an Airbrush Artist. It shows a Union Jack over the whole front, including the pickguard, the pickups are not oversprayed. The back of the guitarshows a space scene, black space with some planets and stars. The paintwork cost me about 550$. Pictures can be sent to you upon request. Electronics is in original condition, frets are ok. There is an original hardshell case which is not in a good condition but it does the job. The guitar is located in Ludwigshafen, Germany.

        Dick – I recently bought a 1615 in mint condition for $450. I think I got a really good deal because I have seen the guitar offered for $650. Another website I found suggested a range fo $400 to $600. Of course the 600 range would probably be for mint condition. Hope this helps.

          I have #1081. There are two for sale presently in Japan. One for 184,000 yen, and another for 257,000 yen (roughly $1750-$2500 US.) I might consider selling mine.

Everyone of my guitars has gone up in value. $5oo is less than I paid in 1983. I had an offer of $3500 in the early 90’s from a guy in Japan. I guess i should have taken it. Lesson learned.96m7e
