1979 Ovation guitars - rock, country, bluegrass, jazz

People who make their living from music make it with Ovation. Artists like Nancy Wilson, Roy Clark, Tony Rice and Larry Coryell. On tour, the roundback is tough and consistently playable. And it sounds great (if it didn't, they wouldn't play it). Choose from nylon, 6 and 12-string models. With or without Ovation's famous acoustic-electric pickup. Whatever your music, make it with Ovation.
