Rolo,
Do have any parts to start with or are you looking for the the Preamp, Pups and PG?

Deacon or Preacher deluxe?

I don't have any sets right now but they show up occasionally.

Some of the more gifted Members can repair broken ones but they are rare without buying the whole guitar.

I do have both the pickups only and require the preamp.
It's for a Breadwinner but correct me if I'm wrong ...any solid body preamp would work.

Thank you in advance.

The circuit board for the Breadwinners with the side mounted output jack is different than the pickguard mounted type. Both electronically and physically.

Might be a while before you find an original preamp. This Artec tone/boost switch looks like it could be an interesting substitute. It should be possible to use it along with conventional tone/volume/pickup selector controls. It would go where the notch filter switch was. I haven't tried it, but it would be a cheap experiment. Don't know the seller either- looks like they have the full range of Artec pickups and gizmos.

Is the output jack in the PG or body?

Humbuckers or single coils?

I got a preamp from Miles last year.

I do have the Pick Guard and the Jack is in it up top.

The Pickups are the originals which I believe are humbuckers.

Hopefully someone has a spare / working or not.

I currently have the pickups wired to a 2 way selector and a simple volume tone pot with terrible results and sound. Even a broken one that I could have repaired would HELP A LOT.

I am also looking for a gold neckplate since I managed to fing a gold battery cover.

Any and all help appreciated!

Thank You

Any pics of the pups and guitar?

I have a preamp that is not working, might consider selling it

Gold neckplate is not an easy one, you were lucky to find a gold battery cover

Mike, I must be losing my touch, missed that one :rolleyes:

That's the output jack in the pickguard model preamp

If anyone is looking for a "Gold" Battery cover and has a Chrome set, neck and battery cover to spare I would gladly trade as well purchase the neck plate.

My gold one is - Mint

If and when this all comes together I will be looking for Tone & Volume knobs as well as one of those fancy bridges.


Thank You in advance.

Rolo, I'll keep it in mind.

I have a spare chrome battery cover but not a neckplate.

I have a new gold and also a chrome Schaller Ovation bridge, not sure I want to part with them at this stage.

Knobs are pretty easy to get, I'd have a couple of spares in fair cond.
