 Ovation guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ovation guitars are notable because the instruments are made with a composite synthetic bowl that replaced the traditional wooden back and sides of the modern acoustic guitar produced by individual luthiers starting in the late 18th century, and top manufacturers such as C F Martin, established in 1833, and Gibson amongst many others.
The Ovation Guitar Company, a holding of Kaman Music Corp, is a guitar company based in Bloomfield, CT.
As a guitarist as well as an aerospace engineer, he championed the round-backed composite-body Ovation guitar as a way to produce distinctive good sounding modern guitars.
