Balladeer
A high standard.
The Ovation® Balladeer series is ideal for all those who are looking for a workhorse for stage and studio in the mid-price segment, but who do not want to go without an appealing appearance or sophisticated technical features.
The instruments owe their appealing acoustic sound to their solid spruce top (A-grade), which has a scalloped X-bracing – a wooden construction arranged crosswise – on the underside. All models in this series have a centersoundhole, i.e. a sound hole in the middle of the guitar top, which is framed by a discreet Pearl Oak Leaf rosette.
Equally discreet dot/diamond inlays are found in the five-piece mahogany/maple neck, which is particularly stable and torsionally strong due to its construction.
The Deep Contour Lyrachord® body in the weight-reduced GS version delivers increased volume with easy handling.
But what would an Ovation be without the typical electro-acoustic sound via amp or PA?
An OCP1K pickup with extra-large piezo crystals picks up the vibrations, not only from the strings, but also from the top.
For further processing of the signal, an OP-Pro preamp is used in this model series.
The guitars are delivered without a case. We recommend an Ovation 8158K-0 ABS case to anyone who wants to take this instrument on tour.
A class of its own.
Exceptional features, outstanding sounds and a consistently high level of quality are the basic recipe for the Ovation Pro Series.
Over the last five decades, Ovation has made a name for itself through groundbreaking developments and modern designs, especially in circles of advanced and professional musicians. Legendary world stars have been swearing by the instruments of the American high-end maker for decades, and so model names such as Balladeer, Legend and Elite contribute significantly to the name recognition of the Ovation brand to this day. All these historic models, with their specific features, are combined in the Pro Series and still form the core range of Ovation Guitars.
