Ovation Guitars Look Up By Serial Number

Here I have an Ovation Balladeer 1111 Deep Bowl 1983 Natural Acoustic / Electric USA Made. I search and collect vintage Ovation guitars in excellent condition. This guitar is in excellent condition in general and for its age is in exceptional condition. The action is very good, it plays well and sounds classical vintage Ovation. The first Ovation guitar made its debut in November 1966. Its Lyrachord body gave the instrument, according to the company, unprecedented projection and ringing sustain. Compared to modern Ovation Guitars, the initial instruments had a shiny bowl that was used again, for example, in the Balladeer 40th anniversary re-issue. Ovation Serial Number Decoder Josh White edit In 1966-1967, the Ovation Guitar Company produced a signature guitar for Josh White, which was the first signature guitar made for an African American.model 1model 2model 3model 4 White was the first official Ovation endorser.history 3. Ovation makes it easy for a guitar owner to determine the manufacture date of his guitar. The Ovation website lists all serial numbers and their corresponding dates of manufacture with three-digit serial numbers ranging from 1966 to 1973 and six-digit serial numbers occurring from 1972 to 2013.

Produced each year from 1982 in limited numbers, the Collectors Series gave Ovation the opportunity to launch new technologies and new designs, giving birth to stunning guitars, featuring gorgeous appointments and finishes. New necks, preamps, body sizes, shapes could be tested in the hands of active pro musicians and Ovation fans. Some guitars became Holy Grails for the avid Ovation collector, such as the 1987-7 and the 2008-5, but all of them are hi-quality, efficient and good looking instruments.
