| I am looking for a natural red mahagony Ovation Deacon. If you or anybody you know is selling one, please let me know. Must be in good to perfect condition. I have a rare red mahogony Breadwinner Limited that I would be willing to trade as well. Either way, I want a Deacon! Thanks!!! |

Second: can't help you, sorry about that.
Last: Interesting comment -- i'm curious why you would trade your LTD. What's got you so jazzed about the Deacon (besides it's an Ovation and a darn fine guitar)

| the deacon was my first guitar, and i loved playing it until it was stolen a few years ago. i tried to replace it with the limited, but it's never been quite the same. |

Anyway, Miles posted this thread a while back. You might take a look through his inventory and find what your looking for. Then PM him and see if he's still selling.
Also i see these come up on ebay regularily.
Good luck.

Good luck hunting, and welcome to da club. |

Click on MEMBER ACCESS on the left, click the "Photo Gallery" button, use the scroll-down list to highlight "stephent28", click the "Get Albums" button, highlight "For Sale Items" in the scroll-down list, and click the "Get Albums" button. |

I didn't know it was possible to dredge up old threads from the vaults and reanimate them.

-Steve W. Now you know it can and does occasionally happen.
Very frustrating to read the first 3 or 4 posts, realize it is not makin sense so you look at the date and see it is 3-4 years old. |
