Mark asks me what my regular guitar is and I say " oh yeah, Ovation Breads or Deacons" ... "Your kidding?" he says ... "I just got off the phone to a guy who has one he's bringing in on consignment" ... Whoa! say's I ... I already have two of these babies but have only ever seen one other in the flesh , other than the one's I own. The other one I could have bought in 95 but didn't have the cash on me at the time ... never felt such pain walking away from that opportunity as it was a black Breadwinner like this ----> But to make up for that loss I kicked myself for all these years this guy has a powder blue Breadwinner - which I aim to buy come hell or high water which will add a third to my collection. Here's what the blue looks like. Forgive a collectors boyish excitment. What kind of tones do you get from these guitars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TIKILOCKEDOUT Posted June 2, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 2, 2006 Originally posted by GuyaGuy nice one! i like the blue. that's a dark blue guard, right? and i just noticed that Breadwinners have 24 frets! ...must resist GAS.... Yeah 24 frets and the neck access for slide and ebowing is awesome ... I get on other guitars to play the same parts and realize I'm like 6 tones lower than I would normally be for the same part of the neck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get single coil and humbucker tones as well as out of phase funky tones as the guitar has an onboard FET pre-amp and phase filtering etc etc etc ... it can nail all the sounds from most guitars and then do sounds that no guitar I ever heard can do ... 3 way pick up switching and 2 band notch filtering for out of phase - combine those with the 3 way PU selection and the active tone control and you have an incredible variety of sounds.

Cool ... yeah if I think in getting this 3rd Breadwinner I may have filled my usual guitar quota ... I don't like having more than 4 guitars but for Ovations I make the exception - it may just mean I put the Guyatone on hold though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah whoever labelled that got confused because that's a 12 string Deacon. Shame about your Preacher though, I'd buy any Ovation Solid Body just about but the Preachers were a later and differently designed model than the Breads and Deacons.
