| They will do well with it. I will be interested in seeing what the 12 strings look like. I have never owned a 12 string electric.... Almost bought a Rickenbacker, which is my first choice, so I will wait and see what they come up with.
Thanks for the heads up |

Location: Central Massachusetts | Now here's a thread from the past!
Hey all, just got a nice note from Mike Robinson at Eastwood Guitars and they are moving forward with a Breadwinner re-issue project! Sounds like they'll have prototypes within a few weeks.
Their GP re-issue was well received, this should be interesting... |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | That will be interesting. I didn't much care for the GP's, but as a guitar they were nice and seemed reasonably priced. Considering there weren't that many original GP's made in the first place, a copy/tribute guitar seemed to make sense. However, there seems to be plenty of Breadwinners and Deacons out there already for reasonable prices and the key, especially with the Breadwinner was the bridge, pre-amp and pickups. I'm curious to see what they come up with. |

Location: GA USA | NC, you could get a set of plans for an LP or whatever from Stewmac, and have a cabinet maker carve the body for you. Miles probably has a neck and a pickguard...
Never mind, I already blew your budget. But you could wind up with a custom job we'd all envy. Woody would finish it for you and make some nifty wood knobs and TRC. |
