Location: Utah | Thinking ahead on a project for my 15 yr old's Sweet Sixteen next summer. She loves the look of the white Breadwinner. But I think it would look even better with the maple fretboard.
So did they ever make any like that? |

Location: Upper Left USA | I have a Custom Shop Deacon with a Maple neck and FB so it is possible. I don't believe any were "off the shelf" that way though.
That sounds a lot better than getting her a Pony!
If she/you don't require a stock unit we could plan something out. Is she already playing guitar?

Location: Utah | Yeah, this would be for my 15 yr old who plays the Red Flame 1778T. She saw me browsing Breadwinners/Deacons and fell in love with a white one with the rosewood fingerboard.
If I were to refinish a body, what kind of paint should I use to get a gloss white finish, like the (dare I say it) Stratocaster? I've seen pickguards and necks available on EBay, so I could buy a different color Breadwinner and refinish it. |

Location: Utah | Here's her Myspace music page with her friend Katie. Sara's mine and is on the right in the picture. The second song (Mental) is her on her Ovation.

Unfortunately the girls won't let me be their recording engineer. They like to record on a laptop in the middle of the night using a crappy mic. Very reminiscent of myself at that age, recording on a reel-to-reel in the middle of the night! |

Location: 6 String Ranch | to answer your question, NO.
It would have to be special ordered. That's next year in the Fender era, good luck. |

Tell them about the Hamers with the Taylor headstocks! |

Did they make a white breadwinner with maple fretboard?
