In 1965, aerospace engineers began an extensive research project to determine whether an acoustic guitar could be sonically improved by modifying its shape and construction. Using audio oscillators and spectrum analyzers, they measured the sonic characteristics of dozens of conventional guitars, and then began exploring new designs. Ultimately they discovered a bowl-shaped body dramatically enhances a guitar's projection, sustain, and frequency response. From this intensive R&D, the Ovation roundback guitar was born. When it debuted in 1966, our groundbreaking instrument drew immediate acclaim for its superior tone and volume. Guitarists love the powerful sound of our roundback guitars. We think you will too.
