Ovation Standard Balladeer 1861 Autumn Burst USA 1994 (trade)

General

This second-hand Ovation guitar was built in New Hartfort, Connecticut (USA) in 1994, and is still in excellent shape. It's an 1861 model that has ended up at Bax-shop thanks to our trade campaign. Not only does this Standard Balladeer come with the original Ovation case and accessories, the original purchase receipt is also included. The guitar's Grade A solid spruce top is beautifully flat and undamaged, which doesn't just look fantastic, but results in a rich sound with plenty of sustain. A gorgeous hand-inlaid Oakleaf rosette decorates the sound hole, lending a nice finishing touch to the instrument's Autumn Burst finish.

Ovation Standard Balladeer 1861 USA: construction, resonance and minimal feedback

This Standard Balladeer model is equipped with a Shallow Bowl back, which offers the same benefits as a Roundback does. Made of the sturdy synthetic material Lyrachord, it delivers plenty of resonance, and reduces feedback to a minimum when you amplify the guitar's sound. The 1861 model's Contour Bowl body produces the same full-bodied tone as a jumbo guitar, but is more compact and therefore much more pleasant to play. An OP-24+ preamp with a 3-band EQ and a piezo pickup is responsible for a pristine amplified tone.

The famous Ovation guitars

Ovation guitars stand out thanks to their impressive sustain, volume and projection. They are the result of Ovation's devotion to perfecting the acoustic construction of a guitar. The Roundback design and the lightweight, rugged composite Lyrachord play an important role. In Ovation's famous electro-acoustic models, for instance - which already featured a pickup/preamp system back in the 1970s - the roundback construction reduces feedback to a minimum.
