Location: Upper Left USA | Sorry if it's getting old but I'm as excited as an Old Fart can get without a Fishing boat!
In my Gallery are some fresh pics of the Deacon 6 and 12 projects. Monday or Tuesday the remaining parts come in.
Enjoy! |

Location: Houston, TX | I especially like the photo with the inverted necks against the bodies.
Since I recognized the altruistic value of the photo and also tried for about 10 minutes to incorporate that particular photo into this message, I am entirely comfortable with the fact that you would want to donate the actual guitars to me.
Thanks in advance of your most generous gift.
In return, I have a cool photo of my cat impersonating an aardvark. This is a fair trade in most countries. |

Location: Upper Left USA | Thanks all. Just have the overwhelming need to share.
BruDev asked "What kind of pickups did you use on the 6 string, and what type are you going to use on the twelve?"
The 6 is made from a body I purchased from Miles and the neck from a Black (polane) Breadwinner I bought from a guy that emailed me after one of my many lost auctions for a BW on Ebay. The pups are Air Norton with humbuck and non-humbuck at the lift of the tone switch. Great sound, not a BW sound but clean/dirty when I want it to be (shut up Cruster!). I had to re-veneer the peghead and will put a metallic logo on and lacquer the face. then the neck will get a Tung Oil rubdown. The fretboard is ebony with an almost reddish wave going through it.
The 12 is using the body from the black polane covered BW, which was a Red Deacon underneath! The pups and switches are the same that the Hamer Newport 12 string uses. Seymour Duncan Phat Cats made especially for the Newport! The neck, bridge and tuners are NOS off the shelf at CT.
The next installment should be finished outdoor graduation pictures!

...You want to call in sick for work because you just got your Deacon 12 strung up and running.
