The Ovation guitar for the first time produced in 1966 and presented to the world as a "songwriter" in February 1967. Charles Kaman, an aeronautical engineer and a passionate guitarist, took his guitar at the CF Martin Company Martin, who have twisted the neck of the guitar connected. While there, the company president, Fred Charles Martin invited on a tour of the factory Martin.
During the tour, Charles was shocked by the fact that their guitars were made with hammers and glue. SinceHe knew working with advanced woodworking machinery, while working as an engineer in a helicopter, he realized immediately that he is greatly improving their guitars.
Charles went to Fred Martin and offered to buy his company from him, but Martin refused. Martin Charles Kaman returned later and asked him to sell his company for the last time. But this time, Charles Kaman told him of his plans to bring in superior technology make the guitar. When Mr. Martindeclined once again, Charles Kaman decided to start his own production company for guitar, Ovation guitars.
As an aeronautical engineer, Mr. Kaman was trying to find the best ways to absorb the vibrations from the helicopter used. On the other hand, he himself guitar, he understands the importance of trying Mr. Kaman, the best way to find together the vibrations in
He then proceeded to put together a team of top aerospace engineers and technicians and put them on the jobDesigning the best possible acoustic guitar.
Through his research he discovered that the style back plate of acoustic guitars that were produced in that period, ended with a negative influence on the flow of sound. This has led to the controversial "round back" design of the Ovation guitar. The design has been improved Ovation bass sound better, higher, stronger, and the guitar.
Another thing that has never been at that time the use of syntheticConstruction materials on the back of their guitars. Mr. Kaman has worked as a project for the rotor blades of the helicopter, which has seen the negative effects of vibration on the rotors of wood had. This on the other hand, a positive acoustic guitars, but would need a controlled resonance creating the perfect sound for his guitar.
Eventually, he discovered the perfect combination of synthetic materials and natural woods such as spruce sika a truly amazing acoustic sound to createGuitar.
A few years later, in 1971, preamp, eq and pickups were collected added to the attention of the musicians were having problems with feedback during their live shows.
Other innovations Ovation guitars were the first solid body electric guitar in 1971 and offset holes on its top guitar sound in 1977.
The year 1980 has been revealed as the most important moment for Ovation guitars. Because of their low feedback and loud sound, many musicians use Ovation acoustic guitar as theirChoice during their live performances.
The Ovation guitar is still there and very popular with musicians such as Al Di Meola, Sully Erna and Tony Rombola (Godsmack), Melissa Etheridge, Steve Lukather, Yngwie Malmsteen, Ziggy Marley, Dave Mustaine (Megadeth), Vince Neil and Nikki Sixx (Motley Crue), Shakira, Shania Twain, Steven Tyler (Aerosmith) and Rick Nielsen (Cheap Trick), to name a few.
