Exceptional features, remarkable sounds, and a high and consistent level of quality: this is the basic recipe of the Ovation Pro series.
Over the past five decades, Ovation has made a name for itself among top-level musicians and professionals thanks to revolutionary developments and modern designs. For many years, legendary global stars have sworn by the high-end American manufacturer's instruments, so much so that model names like Balladeer, Legend, and Elite still largely contribute to the brand's reputation today. All these historic models, with their specific features, are grouped in the Pro series and still constitute the core of Ovation Guitars' assortment.
Legend
One of the many stories about this series of guitars is that Linda McCartney wanted to give her husband Paul an Ovation guitar for Christmas because he thought it was great. It was finally an Ovation Legend that ended up under the Christmas tree... in a left-handed version, of course. When the Ovation brand developed the Legend series, it sought a special sound concept that would allow the guitars not to lose power in any frequency range. Full basses, clear highs, and pronounced mids.
A harmonious body - a tuned body
As with all Ovation guitars, the wooden top is selected and applied to a bowl-shaped Lyrachord® body. Since Lyrachord resonates at a clearly defined frequency, the top can be designed to resonate at a complementary frequency. The body tunes with the top. The result produces a full and smooth sound.
An A for an X
Most high-quality Ovation guitars use cross braces called "X-bracing" to stabilize the soundboard. To better support the material's ability to vibrate, the braces of the Ovation Legend Series are placed in an A shape along the wood grain. This "A-Bracing" significantly improves resonance in the mid and bass ranges and contributes to a balanced sound across all frequencies.
