An aeronautical engineer by trade, Charles felt that there were weaknesses in traditional acoustic guitar designs, and that some of the composite materials he used to build helicopters could be used to control the instruments' vibrations. By utilizing the distinctive parabolic bowl that Ovation guitars have since become known for, Charles found that he could drastically reduce feedback, allowing for greater amplification onstage. Since the development of onboard electronics, Ovation guitars have become one of the most popular brands of acoustic-electrics in the world, endorsed by such artists as Glen Campbell, Nancy Wilson, Steve Lukather, Al Di Meola, and Melissa Etheridge.Ovation Timeless Collection Balladeer Features: AA solid spruce top provides excellent projection, balance, and focus Comfortably contoured composite Lyrachord body responds naturally to dynamics Soundhole with beautiful oak leaf rosette projects rich tonal qualities plugged or unplugged Deluxe 5-piece mahogany/maple neck with fast satin finish Articulate pau ferro fingerboard with matching bridge Eye-grabbing pearloid fingerboard inlays Stage-ready Op-Pro Studio preamp with onboard EQ, compression, and tuner SpecificationDetail String Type Steel Number of Strings 6 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Shape Deep Contour Back & Sides Wood Lyrachord Top Wood Sitka Spruce Finish Gloss Color Black Body Bracing Scalloped X-bracing Binding White ABS Neck Wood Mahogany/Maple Neck Shape Soft V Radius 11.8" Fingerboard Material Pau Ferro Fingerboard Inlay Pearloid Dots/Diamonds Number of Frets 20, Nickel Silver Scale Length 25.315" Nut Width 1.692" Nut/Saddle Material ABS/ABS Bridge Material Pau Ferro Tuning Machines Ovation Closed Gear Electronics Ovation OP Pro Strings Adamas, .012-.054 Case Included Sold Separately RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
