Location: CA | Nice guitars. This has probably been brought up before, but I think Ovation really missed the boat on naming the Deacon. That thing is 'Battle Axe' from the word go. . . |

It has to be one of the most unique and coolest looking guitars that I have ever had the pleasure of seeing and now owning. Now hopefully the tone is there too !! May plug her in some time today.

No, it's not missing. I was so excited to take photo's I forgot to put it back on after setting the action and tweeking the neck. |

Jim I don't!! I try to play every day, but it doesn't always happen. Some times I don't play for a week !But I try to minimize those times.

Thank you. It is even more stunning in person. It looks like a fine piece of furniture. The whole back of the neck is also sunbursted; very cool.

Bernard Bernard,
Thank you for taking a look. I don't know if it's refinished or not.
I was operating under the premise that this was the original finish. It does have some wear and a few dings, so it doesn't look brand new. I also used some Virtuoso cleaner and polish before shooting the photos.
I guess if I pull off the pickgard or neck I might be able to tell but I'm not ready to do that yet !
Regards,
Tom |
