Ovation USA Pro Series Legend 1767-4S-G Electric-Acoustic Guitar, Solid Spruce Natural Satin
Manufacturer's Description
Legend
One of the many stories about this guitar series tells of how Linda McCartney wanted to give her husband Paul an Ovation guitar for Christmas because he thought it was so great. In the end, an Ovation Legend ended up under the Christmas tree... in the left-handed version, of course.
When Ovation developed the Legend series, they were looking for a special sound concept that would enable the guitars to not lose energy in any frequency range. Full basses, clear trebles and strong mids.
A harmonious body – a tuned body
As with all Ovation guitars, the hand-selected wood top is applied to a Lyrychord® bowl. Since Lyrachord® resonates at a clearly defined frequency, the top could be designed to resonate at a complementary frequency. The result is a "tuned" guitar body that produces a full, smooth sound.
An A for an X.
Most high-quality Ovation guitars use cross-braced reinforcing braces called "X-bracing" to stabilize the top. To better support the material's ability to vibrate, the reinforcements on the Ovation Legend Series are placed in an A-shape along the grain of the wood. This "A-Bracing" significantly improves resonance in the mid and bass ranges and contributes to a balanced sound across all frequencies.
Exceptional features, outstanding sounds and a consistently high level of quality are the basic recipe for the Ovation Pro Series.
Over the last five decades, Ovation has made a name for itself through groundbreaking developments and modern designs, especially in circles of advanced and professional musicians. Legendary world stars have been swearing by the instruments of the American high-end maker for decades, and so model names such as Balladeer, Legend and Elite contribute significantly to the name recognition of the Ovation brand to this day. All these historic models, with their specific features, are combined in the Pro Series and still form the core range of Ovation Guitars.
