Deacon restoration advice

diceface Posted 2020-06-13 7:41 AM (#552294) Subject: Deacon restoration advice Joined: May 2020 Posts: 5 Hiya, I got myself an old Deacon which seems to have had a bit of a hard life. Headstock broken and repaired, missing truss rod cover, damaged pickguard, missing knob, and a less-than sympathetic spray job! I got an original 12-string neck in addition to the guitar too, so am keen to see if I can create a 12 string. To wit, I am seeking a 12-string bridge for it. I bought a 12-string bridge which I think came off a Viper but they're not the same type at all. Does anyone know where I might source parts?

The one piece metal bridges use a different post and are available. alpep Posted 2020-06-13 4:07 PM (#552299 - in reply to #552294) Subject: Re: Deacon restoration advice Joined: December 2001 Posts: 10582 Location: NJ i have bridge posts available diceface Posted 2020-06-19 6:06 AM (#552330 - in reply to #552294) Subject: Re: Deacon restoration advice Joined: May 2020 Posts: 5 Ah, fantastic.
