Is it me, or are these Yamaha SG prices getting a bit silly?

    I'm going to buy every single Ovation Breadwinner in existence and see if I can push the price up to £6k each

    Maybe I could set up a gofundme page where people donate their breadwinners...

    Them and the guy in ABBA and after that you start to struggle who played an Ovation electric guitar - maybe Glen Campbell and Ace Frehely - think one of the guys on Quo had one - So make it happen - make us all regret missing the chance to buy one at £400 and go for 5K or 6K for a clean one with case - By the way, when they came out the price was comparable to a Gibson LP

    Didn't Adrian Legg have a Breadwinner, or a Preacher or something? Ridiculously (and I men vulgar!) over-customised with wiring options....

    You'll have to fight @HarrySeven for them...

    How much does a breadwinner go for these days?
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

    Average wage is about £30k or so innit? ;)

    I've seen a couple of the guitars go recently for £500 or so..

    That assumes there is actually anyone else who would want to buy one…

    Those Yamaha SG prices are getting as stupid as the Japanese Squier prices.  I had an SG 2000 and whilst it was a superb guitar it was bastard heavy and a little bit unwieldy to be honest.  

    I didn't personally think it was the holy grail of tone like quite a lot of people who are selling theirs make them out to be.

    Just as long as it's not to Silvia's mother :)
    One day I'm going to make a guitar out of butter to experience just how well it actually plays.

    Once they are £6k they will suddenly hit cork sniffer territory and the "tone" will be marvelled at

    Sadly, I really like the look of those Yamaha SGs - but the weight and the price??


    Naaaaah. Rather have a Breadwinner ;)
