How many Blue Dawn instruments were made?

[petruccirocks02]

Hey eveyone, I'm just curious as to how many guitars and basses were made with the Blue Dawn finish when it came out. If anybody knows that would be great. And how long was the finish produced for? Thanks for the replies in advance.

Blue Dawn was made from 2000-2002/2003'ish. As for production number EBMM doesn't usually release them.

You are aware that Blue Dawn is back as a Limited Edition color for 2007, right?

[phatduckk]

they made 4,352 Blue Dawns back in the original run.























ya, i made that up. i have no idea

 

[silverburst]

PM sent. Let me know if you are still looking for a Blue Dawn Sterling...

 

[robelinda2]

hopefully the 07 LE BD is the first of a few more years of sparkle re-issues! Some of those old sparkles would surely sell better now. but i guess you can only go by past sales figures.

47.9 percent of statistics are made up on the spot

So the real answer is 30.5% then?

 

[Colin]

Foggy you should be able to work out the exact figure made. Just count every Blue Dawn photo you have...

47.9 percent of statistics are made up on the spot

16% of the population knows this

So the real answer is 30.5% then?

No...57.8 if my calculations are correct.
