A high standard.

The Ovation Balladeer series is ideal for anyone who is looking for a workhorse for stage and studio in the mid-price segment, but does not want to miss out on an attractive look or sophisticated technical features.

The instruments owe their appealing acoustic sound to their solid spruce top (A-grade), which has a scalloped X-bracing on the underside - a cross-shaped wooden construction. All models in this series have a center soundhole, i.e. a sound hole in the middle of the guitar top, which is surrounded by a subtle Pearl Oak Leaf rosette.

Equally subtle dot/diamond inlays can be found in the five-piece mahogany/maple neck, which is particularly stable and torsion-resistant due to its construction.

The Deep Contour Lyrachord® Body in the weight-reduced GS version delivers increased sound volume with easy handling.

But what would an Ovation be without the typical electro-acoustic sound via amp or PA?

This is ensured by an OCP1K pickup, which, with its extra-large piezo crystals, absorbs the vibrations not only from the strings, but also from the ceiling.

An OP-Pro preamp is used in this model series for further processing of the signal.

The guitars are delivered without a case. For anyone who wants to tour with this instrument, we recommend an Ovation 8158K-0 ABS case.
