It's an old one too! Wide necked version - very early serial number... like my other one.

Looks a little odd. has a Deacon neck, but it looks shiney black which wasn't an option I don't think. Also it has the jack on the heel and the nylon saddles which makes me think Breadwinner not Deacon.

Interesting tho... and at least they mounted the pickups without destroying the pickguard or the look.

Miles, it's not solid gloss black, it's actually a very dark tobacco sunburst. My Deacon is very similar, you can see it in my gallery. I've seen a few early Deacons with side-mounted jacks and nylon saddles. P/U selector & knobs have been changed on this one.

PT, thanks. Yeah mine is the same color too. I kinda forgot. The pickguard covers up so much real estate that it almost covers all of the sun part of the burst. :)
