The year was 1966. Guitars have been for some time now. People expected them to, more or less than a particular type and design. There was no real radical innovations in the production of the guitar. And then came a company called Ovation. It was not just another guitar. They wanted to come up with something completely different. So in 1966, when they broke into the scene, they came back with their unique guitar roundthanks to a man named Charlie Kaman. The pro-musicians of the time absolutely thrilled with the guitar. The guitar purists were not as enthusiastic. I do not understand.
The odd part, as this guitar actually came to be has nothing to do with the production of guitar. Knowledge of the Kaman helicopter rotor blades and in particular, play a really good understanding of vibration and applied this principle to the production of his new guitar model.
Kaman said:that is not just another guitar. He said that the technology that we need to do something really different and not only different, but to do better. Sun Kaman has chosen a team of engineers and technicians of the aviation industry and aerospace for its new project at work. It did not hurt that many of these kids had taken the woodworking as a hobby.
What these scientists did was to come with the common body of the guitar flat was really no help but an obstacle to the sound of the guitar.The first thing they did was break the first rule of making a guitar. He threw the idea of the body is completely flat and made the round body. This design was actually the guitar is a consistent sound from the bottom to complete the treble. They also have the guitar more and more stable.
Today, Ovation makes a large number of guitar models including the LX Series Standard Balladeer. This guitar is a 6-string acoustic / electric. His body type is a deep bowl. It has abound rosewood fingerboard, rosewood bridge pickup original and patented. The ovation Balladeer Standard is one of the most popular guitar models.
Then, of course, you have the Custom Series Guitar Legend. 1779 United States model has an American flag painted on the body, which is simply breathtaking. It also has a mid-depth body, bound ebony fretboard and bridge ebony. Even if you do not play guitar, this is a gem that just goes with the house to get a lotDiscussions.
The Elite Series has an average depth cutaway body type. The keyboard is bound in ebony with ebony bridge. It comes with a Hi-Ovation pickup output which is really strong. This is a guitar you do not have any difficulty hearing in a large room.
These models only scratch the surface of the Ovation guitar line, the all around with her body.
Whatever the critics always think these guitars sound like no one else on the planet.
