Another quality Guitar from Lovies Guitars!
Lovies Guitars is excited to present this Vintage! 1973 Ovation Breadwinner / Deacon Electric Guitar finished in Mahogany. Built by Ovation, this iconic early-’70s solid-body represents one of the most forward-thinking guitar designs of its era, combining sleek futuristic styling with a highly ergonomic body and distinctive tonal character.
The Breadwinner/Deacon platform is known for its unique contoured body design, exceptional upper-fret access, and punchy, articulate tone. It delivers a focused midrange with tight lows and a clear top end, making it a standout choice for players seeking vintage clarity with a modern-feeling ergonomic design—even by today’s standards.
The Mahogany finish highlights the minimalist, space-age aesthetic that made this model a cult classic among collectors and players of progressive rock, fusion, and experimental styles.
This guitar is all original (OG) and comes complete with its Original Hardshell Case (OHSC).
Condition: 9.4/10 – Very Good. Excellent condition for its age with a few dings around the body, light wear on the pickguard, and some wear on the back of the neck. Overall a very clean and well-preserved vintage example.
