Ovation changed what an acoustic guitar could be. In 1966, aerospace engineer Charles Kaman applied helicopter-blade technology to lutherie and created the roundback: a parabolic composite bowl in place of wooden back and sides. The result projects further, resists humidity and temperature swings that crack traditional instruments, and fights feedback on loud stages. Add the multi-soundhole Elite tops and onboard electronics tuned for live work, and you have the guitar that players from Glen Campbell to Melissa Etheridge carried on the world's biggest stages. The Celebrity series brings that design to working players: the same Lyrachord bowl, stage-ready preamps, and the unmistakable Ovation look, in Traditional, Standard, and Elite configurations. Victory Musical Instruments is an authorized Ovation dealer, and as a shop run by a working musician, we will tell you straight which model fits how and where you play.
