A class of its own.

Extraordinary features, excellent sounds and a consistently high level of quality are the basic recipe of 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 from American high-end manufacturers for decades, and model names such as Balladeer, Legend and Elite still contribute significantly to the level of awareness of the Ovation brand. All of these historical models, with their specific features, are combined in the Pro Series and still form the core range of Ovation Guitars.

Legend Series:

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… Of course in the left-handed version.

When Ovation developed the Legend series, they were looking for a special sound concept that would allow the guitars not to lose energy in any frequency range. Full bass, clear highs and strong mids.

A harmonious body — a tuned body.
As with all Ovation guitars, the hand-selected wooden top is mounted on a Lyrychord® bowl. Since Lyrachord® Resonating at a clearly defined frequency, the ceiling could be designed to vibrate 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-mounted reinforcement braces, known as “X-bracing,” to stabilize the top. In order to better support the material's ability to vibrate, the reinforcements in the Ovation Legend series are arranged in an A-shape along the wood grain. This “A-bracing”
Significantly improves the resonance in the mid and bass range and contributes to a balanced sound across all frequencies.

Ovation Legend — it’s one of a kind.
