Scott Fraser Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 always loved these old Ovations: http://jaebaeli.com/songwriter/ovationbrdwinner.jpg Great look, truly original. I've never heard an opinion as to whether these were any good. It kinda became the template for the Klein guitar. I think Eastwood is importing a modern version of the Breadwinner.

Winston Psmith Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 They were kind of forward-looking, for their time, not just in terms of the body design, but the electronics and the 24-fret neck. I have very vague recollections of one of the early Prog guitarists with one, either Anthony Phillips or Peter Banks? Someone with a better memory, or search engine, might know.

Winston Psmith Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I had a Gibson Corvus II for a short time, affectionately known as "The Can Opener". Made me think there was just too much nose candy at a late meeting one night, and it went into production before anyone could sober up. It weighed next to nothing, sounded as thin as it felt, and looked as little like a Gibson as possible. http://cdn1.gbase.com/usercontent/gear/1827401/p1_ujwxainku_so.jpg Quote "Monsters are real, and Ghosts are real too.

Dannyalcatraz Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 These aren't the weirdest in the thread, but they definitely have a certain oddity about them: http://www.electric-babes.net/ Look through the gallery, and I think you'll get a better picture of the inspiration for their design aesthetic. http://www.electric-babes.net/guitars/ella-09/ I think they would be Sir Mix-A-Lot approved.

Bluesape Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Breadwinners were played by endorsees David Cassidy and Glen Campbell, of course, and one of the house band on the old Sonny & Cher Show played one. They had really advanced circuitry and switching for their era. The look just never caught on... I've played a few myself, and gotta say they're damn nice guitars. I never owned one simply cuz price, availability, and cash on hand never cosmically aligned.....so far.... Quote Never a DUH! moment! Well, almost never. OK, OK! Sometimes never!

Scott Fraser Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I recall liking the look of those when they were current too- still do but haven`t seen one in ages. A Breadwinner? I believe Eastwood makes a Breadwinner clone. It's a cool shape, which became the starting off point for the Klein & other derivatives of the "Ergonomic" school of guitar design.

skipclone 1 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Wow, Eastwood-I ran into them at the Tokyo Music Instrument Fair-which by the way, was supposed to be happening in November this year but for unexplained reasons has been postponed till 2014. Quite so, here is the Eastwood version-they didn`t even change the name: http://www.eastwoodguitars.com/index.php/eastwood-guitars/all-eastwood-guitars/solid-body-guitars/item/breadwinner Quote Same old surprises, brand new cliches- Skipsounds on Soundclick: www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandid=602491 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurricane hugo Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Yes, it's another harp guitar. Sue me: [video:youtube] The company - Emerald Guitars - is based in Ireland. This guitar's made of carbon graphite (which I love), and has a 24" scale neck (which I'm not crazy about) like a Fender Jaguar, I believe. At 1850 Euros new, it's the most affordable harp guitar I've seen. Quote http://blip.fm/invite/WorkRelease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
