Early 1970's. 72 or 73...I think. I am the original owner. The Guitar has never been repaired or modified. It is in is original shape. I am now forced to sell this beauty. $650 Canadian.

The Foam (sponge) padding under the pickups have dry-rotted and fallen away. Some tiny rust pop-marks on the pickups, through the chrome plate. Guitar has not been repainted or altered. The case is getting tattered, but is the original case. Sort of flimsey, almost guitar shaped, black with red interior. I own a white BW E00741.

It is the cleanest guitar I've heard and I've been playing since 73. I have a 79 Strat, a Tele, a Parker Fly Classic, and 7 other popular guitars and none of them compare to the BW. You can make it sound like an acoustic or fatten it up without it getting muddy. You can adjust the out of phase tones between the pickups, and it has a nice cutting distortion without sounding like a chain saw. I love it. These were definitely ahead of their time. I think if they were reissued, they'd do well now. If you are a tone freak like me, you'll love the early original setup. Maybe you can find a nice blue one.

I think it was 72 when they started the four-digit serial numbers (starting with 1001, I think) and moved the plug to the front. I may have to buy a black one with all-original electronics. Quite a guitar, yes? I am still looking for the details I had, and didn’t post apparently.

I may have to buy a black one with all-original electronics. Quite a guitar, yes?

I have an all original early Breadwinner model 1251-5 serial # E00488, Black in excellent shape. It has the large toroidal single coil pick-ups and the jack is on the edge. I'm trying to date it but am having trouble finding info. Can someone tell me what year they moved the jack? I know the P/U changed in 1975. Thanks, Lauren Nice post.
