| Well, it's finally come to the point where the neck on my Breadwinner must go. The intonation/playability issues that the twist in the headstock are causing just can't be overcome.
I'm now looking for an Ovation electric neck (preferably Breadwinner/Deacon) that I can swap out with this one. Condition must be very good to excellent. Finish is not really a problem, as I'll likely have the factory refinish it to Barnwood when I get it.
On the off chance that someone would actually have a matching neck for this instrument, mine is finished (obviously)in Barnwood.
Thanks! |

| Woody, might you have an unused neck, by chance? |

Fretboard, frets, etc are in excellent to minty condition since it has never been used. |

Location: Upper Left USA | Katana - Yes, but... Mine is finished in oil and has a re-veneered peg face. It would look better on a Limited body from Miles!
Glenn - No. As much a as a 1/2" difference in scale length and subtle neck shapes and width. Also the Viper Maple necks have a different sound than the ebony mahogany necks.
So long from Ocean Shores, WA! |

| Thanks, Stephen! I must temper my jumpiness. :D
I looked at the photos in your gallery-how bad are the dings in the fretboard on the bass side in the upper frets? Or are those just dirty spots? |

IMHO neck is smooth and flawless. |

You will be happy with the condition. It pains me to say it but, Mr. T is a purveyor of fine goods, honestly represented. |
