Ovation 1516DTD-G Dusk till dawn Westerngitarre with Tonabnehmer incl. Soft Case Product Details

Description

More than fifty years ago, Charles Kaman brought his idea of a modern guitar to the world market.

As an ambitious guitarist, he realized his dreams and founded his own guitar company, Ovation Guitars, with a difference. He was inspired by traditional standards on the one hand, but also equipped with a pronounced openness towards new technologies, which he owed to his roots as a developer and manufacturer of helicopters. Kaman dared to approach guitar making in a way that is still polarizing today. A special fiber-plastic composite material (Lyrachord®) in combination with a parabolic body shape (Roundback®) were the ingredients for a completely new sound experience in the already crowded acoustic guitar market.

The final breakthrough came with the electro-acoustic version of the Ovation guitar.

Here too, Kaman's experience in the aerospace industry led the way for a development that resulted in the first piezoelectric pickup. This made it possible for acoustic guitarists to remain present even in full band arrangements, or for soloists to perform at large open-air events without compromising on sound.

This unique sound, paired with the playing comfort of an electric guitar, still makes the Ovation a must-have for guitarists in clubs and stadiums alike.
