Location: SoCal | The Deacon usually has the bound fretboard and diamond inlays. With a plain fretboard and unbound neck, it's a Breakwinner or Breadwinner Ltd.
Take a look at this

Bruce may have called it. I've seen a couple of Deacons with those necks. In fact somebody on this board has one. Stonebobbo? |

Location: Scotland | It's a Preacher Deluxe neck. The Original Ovation bridge & the gold machines would suggest this is an after-market swap rather than sometning which originated at the factory |
