Ovation Deacon 12-String 1975-1980 - Description

In a quiet studio bathed in afternoon light, a musician slides a Deacon 12-String 1975-1980 by Ovation from its stand. The smooth mahogany neck feels familiar under their fingers as they prepare to play a rich, full chord progression for a new folk-inspired song.

This electric guitar suits players who value classic design and a distinctive sound with a 12-string’s natural shimmer. If you enjoy songwriting sessions, recording in a home studio, or performing small gigs, the Deacon delivers an inspiring blend of playability and tonal character.

The mahogany body and neck give the guitar warm resonance and comfortable weight for extended playing sessions (3.9 kg).
A sunburst finish adds a timeless visual appeal that complements its vintage character.
Ebony fingerboard with a 10” radius and 24 frets provides a smooth surface for finger movement and precise intonation.
Two Ovation USA humbuckers offer a rich, balanced tone with reduced hum, perfect for capturing the guitar’s natural warmth.
The 24.75” scale length and 48 mm nut width support traditional playability suited to various hand sizes.
The 12-string setup creates a lush, chiming sound that fills out your music with harmonic complexity.

Condition notes: this guitar shows some signs of cosmetic wear but these do not affect sound or playability. The frets display visible wear but remain comfortable to play. It does not come with an Ovation case.

Q: Can this guitar handle different playing styles? A: Yes, the Deacon’s humbucker pickups and 12-string configuration make it versatile for fingerpicking, strumming, or lead lines with a rich texture.

Q: Is it suitable for live performances? A: Its solid build and reliable pickups ensure it sits well in both studio and live settings, offering dependable sound projection.

Q: How portable is the Deacon 12-String? A: Weighing around 3.9 kg, it balances substantial feel with manageable weight for gigging musicians.

Choosing this vintage Ovation offers a more sustainable choice by extending the life of a well-crafted instrument built in the USA during the late 1970s. It comes with a warranty and a return policy for your peace of mind.

The Deacon 12-String 1975-1980 blends vintage charm with practical playability and a rich, complex tone. It fits musicians who appreciate classic design and want a guitar that inspires creativity both on stage and in the studio.
