Ovation Acoustic Guitar
Ovation acoustic guitars are recognized by their distinctive rounded synthetic back, known as the Lyrachord bowl, which replaces the traditional flat wooden back of conventional acoustics. This design enhances projection and reduces feedback when amplified, making Ovations a popular choice for live performance. Brian May of Queen used Ovation acoustics for the band's unplugged and semi-acoustic performances, their bright, cutting tone complementing his electric work. The guitar's built-in pickup system and feedback resistance made it particularly practical for stadium performances where acoustic guitar needed to compete with a full rock band.
