For 60 years, Ovation has pushed the boundaries of acoustic guitar design. From its iconic rounded, Lyrachord backs to signature soundhole designs, from the advancement of piezo pickup systems to the revolutionary carbon fiber tops of its Adamas models, the brand has continually redefined what is possible.
