About this listing
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.
