I've hinted here and there in the past about letting go of the Demon Deacon. A little half-heartedly because I love it so. I bought it from Samova and many of you have seen and played it. Never has it lived outside the OFC family. As far as anyone has said, it's the only gloss black Deacon Deluxe. Samova assembled it from new parts he obtained from the factory in 2001. All original factory Ovation parts down to the screws for the pickguard. Abalone inlays.

I have been playing my acoustic Ovations a lot. The electrics not so much.

I would like to trade for a nice hollowbody of comparable value. I'd place the value of the Deacon at $1000. If that is almost there but not quite, I'd entertain adding the above Viper to the deal. I bought it from Miles when he was thinning "The Collection". I'd estimate the Viper at $400. Both have the tan cases that work well but show some wear.

So if you have a sweet Gretsch or something else you're not playing, contact me. We can trade and each make a contribution to the OFC.

Well I do have a Hollowbody Viper and a Hollowbody Deacon...

Not sure if I'm in for a trade but I'd thought I'd try to show some options.
