Ovation Guitars is a legendary American brand that revolutionized acoustic guitar design in the second half of the 20th century. The company was founded in 1965 by Charles Kaman, an aeronautical engineer and helicopter pioneer.
Key Features:
Lyrachord Body: The brand's main innovation is the use of a composite material (Lyrachord) and the parabolic "Roundback" design. This design reduces feedback and increases the instrument's structural integrity.
Electro-acoustic Excellence: Ovation is highly regarded for having one of the industry's best pickup and preamp systems, making them a standard choice for large-scale live performances.
Multi-soundhole design: The unique arrangement of several small soundholes at the top of the soundboard (instead of a single central one) improves sustain and minimizes feedback risk.
Ovation instruments became icons through the work of artists such as Glen Campbell, Melissa Etheridge, and Al Di Meola.
