Ovation guitars are famous for their innovative design, which features a round, synthetic "Lyrachord" back instead of a traditional flat wooden one. Founded in 1966 by aerospace engineer Charles Kaman, the company applied his expertise in helicopter composites to guitar manufacturing to produce instruments with enhanced acoustic properties, durability, and feedback resistance for live performance.The sound from such a  rounder shape is measurably richer, fuller, deeper and more constant from top to bottom of the scale.

Ovation guitar specifications vary by model but commonly feature a solid wood top (spruce or cedar), a Lyrachord composite body, a center soundhole or multi-soundhole design, a Maple or nato neck, and Ovation's own electronics system with a pickup and preamp. Key differences between models include the body depth (mid-depth, deep contour, or shallow), the type of bracing, the fingerboard material (like ovangkol or pau ferro), and the details of the electronics.Listen for yourself. Hear the rounder, fuller, totally unique sound of the Ovation Roundback. Let your own ear confirm the difference that aerospace technology has created.
