Although there were all sorts of odd shapes guitars around at the time,
the Breadwinner always caught my eye.
It looked like it should be comfortable to play and when I finally got
my hands on one, I wasn't disappointed.
Many years later I spotted this and decided to buy it.
This one has an unusual Black finish on it, nice to play - something
a bit unusual.
There is an interveiw from the designer here:

There are quite a few web sites about the birth of Ovation and their
products, well worth a trawl round.
The images below the Breadwinner are of a Viper.
I bought this as the finish matched an Ovation bass I have.
In a world of Les Paul's and Strat's, it is nice to be able to play
something different - in fact, it has just occurred to me, I have never
owned a Les Paul, SG or Strat!
That's all on Ovation for now, I'll do the basses another time.
Perhaps time for some Aria and Ibanez.
Cheers. :)
