OVATION LX VS AX

12/6/2019



 
Ovation AX Series Guitars offer the exact same specs and features of their LX
siblings at a price that makes them exceptional values. The Ovation Elite 2078
AX Deep Contour Acoustic-Electric Guitar features a hand-selected, deluxe AA
solid-spruce top with LX scalloped bracing.

Workshop Website ovationguitars.com

The Ovation Guitar Company is a manufacturer of guitars based in the U.S.A.
Ovation primarily manufactures steel-string acoustic guitars (both 6 and
12-string versions) and nylon-string acoustic guitars, often with pickups for
electric amplification. In 2015, it became a subsidiary of Drum Workshop after
being acquired from KMCMusicorp.[3]
The company's Ovation and Adamas guitars are known for their round backs, which
gives them a recognizable shape. The latter are also well known for the use of
carbon fiber tops (instead of the typically wood tops for acoustic guitars).
Among musicians the relatively thin neck stands out as well, compared to other
acoustic guitars.

HISTORY[EDIT]

A mid-1970s Kaman Ovation Custom Balladeer 1612-4 acoustic electric guitar, next
to a lute.
Founder Charles Kaman (1919–2011) developed the first prototypes of the
Ovation guitar in 1965–1966.[4][5][6] Kaman, an amateur guitarist from an
early age, worked on helicopter design as an aerodynamacist at United.
Eventually, he founded a helicopter design company, Kaman Aircraft, in 1945.[7]
The Kaman Corporation soon diversified, branching into nuclear weapons testing,
commercial helicopter flight, development and testing of chemicals, and
helicopter bearings production. In the early 1960s, however, financial problems
from the failure of their commercial flight division forced them to expand into
new markets, such as entertainment and leisure. Charles Kaman, still an avid
guitar player, became interested in making guitars.[4][8]
From 1966 to 2007 Ovation guitars, and later on Adamas guitars, were a brand of
KMCMusicorp, which itself was a subsidiary of Kaman Aircraft.
In 2008 KMCMusicorp (and with that the Ovation brand) was sold to the Fender
Musical Instruments Corporation.[9] In 2014, Fender announced that they were
closing the Ovation guitar factory in New Hartford, Connecticut, leaving all
production of Ovation guitars overseas.[10] Before that announcement Fender
established a U.S. production of various acoustic guitars in the New Hartford
factory. Alongside Ovation and Adamas guitars, which were produced there for
decades, Fender started a U.S. production of other Fender-owned brands in that
factory, as is known, Guild (Guild Guitar Company) and Fender.[11]
Shortly after closing the New Hartford factory[when?] it was announced that the
Ovation brand had been sold to the company Drum Workshop, alongside a few other
previously Fender-owned brands. The announcement was made on January 7, 2015. In
addition to the Ovation brand, Drum Workshop also bought the New Hartford
factory and reinstated the previously ceased U.S. production of Ovation and
Adamas guitars, basses, ukuleles and mandolins.[12]


RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF FIRST MODELS[EDIT]

Fiberglass round-back body (medium-depth) of Ovation Balladeer (1968)
Charles Kaman put a team of employees to work to invent a new guitar in
1964.[4][13] For the project, Kaman chose a small team of aerospace engineers
and technicians, several of whom were woodworking hobbyists as well. One of
these was Charles McDonough, who created the Ovation Adamas model.[history 1]
Kaman founded Ovation Instruments, and in 1965 its engineers and luthiers
(guitar makers) worked to improve acoustic guitars by changing their
conventional materials. The R&D team spent months building and testing prototype
instruments. Their first prototype had a conventional 'dreadnought' body, with
parallel front and back perpendicular to the sides. The innovation was the use
of a thinner, synthetic back, because of its foreseen acoustic properties.
Unfortunately, the seam joining the sides to the thin back was prone to
breakage. To avoid the problem of a structurally unstable seam, the engineers
proposed a synthetic back with a parabolic shape. By mid-1966, according to
Ovation, they realized that the parabolic shape produced a desirable tone with
greater volume than the conventional dreadnought.[14]
Once the engineers had settled on a parabolic shape, they turned their attention
to developing a substance that could be molded into this bowl-like shape. Using
their knowledge of high-tech aerospace composites, they developed Lyrachord, a
patented material comprising interwoven layers of glass filament and bonding
resin.
The first successful design, built by luthier Gerry Gardner, went into
production soon after the company was established.[15]

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.[history 2] 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.


INITIAL MARKETING[EDIT]

Custom made Josh White model built under his guidance.
Glen Campbell(pictured) gave national publicity to Ovation's round-back guitars.
The introduction and promotion of the first Ovation was closely associated with
two performing artists, the blues-performer Josh White and the country-music
singer Glen Campbell.


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
1][model 2][model 3][model 4] White was the first official Ovation
endorser.[history 3]
Upon completion, the first Ovation Guitar was called the 'Josh White
Model,'[model 5][model 6] which White played at the Hotel America (Hartford,
Connecticut), 14 November 1966; at the same show, the Balladeers played
Balladeer models.[2] The show was witnessed by '300 representatives of the press
and the music industry'[1]


GLEN CAMPBELL, 1968[EDIT]

The Ovation Roundback Balladeer first caught national attention in 1968 when
Glen Campbell hosted a variety show he called The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour on
CBS, and in the following year, 1969, he became one of Ovation's first
endorsers.[4]


DESIGN INNOVATIONS[EDIT]

Ovation Adamas has multiple sound holes (11, 15, or 22 by model) on the
upper-soundboard. (11 of them are visible in picture)
On-board electronics on Celebrity CC44: Right: a pre-amp unit OP 4BT including
electronic tuner, Left: 9-volt battery box.This unit provides volume knob,
3-band equalizers, tune button, LED display, and is a standard on entry-models
(Celebrity and Applause in 2011–2012).
Ovation guitar design reflects its founder's engineering training and
development of Kaman helicopters. Ovation guitars replace the instrument's
conventional back and sides with composite synthetic bowls. Kaman felt there
were structural weaknesses in the orthogonal joining of the sides, and that a
composite material could provide a smooth body. Ovation claims the parabolic
bowls dramatically reduce feedback, allowing greater amplification. Improved
synthetics techniques from helicopter engineering control vibrations in the
bowl. Ovation developed a thin neck, striving for the feel of an electric
guitar's neck, but with additional strength from layers of mahogany and maple
reinforced by a steel rod in an aluminum channel.[16] The composite materials
and thin necks reduced weight.
Sound holes on Ovation Applause
For its soundboards, Ovation uses Sitka spruce, a wood that Kaman engineers used
in helicopter blades. In the 1970s, Ovation developed thinner soundboards with
carbon-based composites laminating a thin layer of birch in its Adamas model.
The Adamas model dissipated the sound-hole of the traditional soundboard among
22 small sound holes in the upper chamber of the guitar, which Ovation says
yields greater volume and further reduces feedback during amplification
(pioneered in the Adamas model in 1977).[16] Although the area of the multiple
sound holes is equal to the area of a single-soundhole, the altered position
allows a new style of Guitar bracing (e.g. Adamas Bracing). The design
strengthens the soundboard, reducing the traditional design's bracing and hence
weight. In the 1980s, Ovation introduced shallow-bowl guitars to appeal to
electric guitarists.
In 1977-1978, Gypsy, an Ovation performing and recording artist, designed the
first stereo pre-amplifier for the Adamas 12 string and used it on his album
'Ladies Love Outlaws.' At the same time, Ovation provided small doors that
blocked the sound holes from the inside in order to dampen feedback in the
presence of loud stage monitors. Gypsy had also requested the addition of a
round hatch in the back of the body of pre-Adamas guitars to facilitate changing
the on-board battery, a feature that was then adopted for all the 'round holes.'
Before this time, the strings on the round-hole guitars had to be removed to do
this. On-board electronics let guitarists move about the stage rather than stay
in front of a microphone. On-board electronic tuning, availability, uniformity,
and frugal costs facilitated performances by guitar ensembles like Robert
Fripp's Guitar Craft students. Ovation has also produced solid-body electric
guitars and active basses.
Ovations reached the height of their popularity in the 1980s, where they were
often seen during live performances by touring artists, such as Rush's Alex
Lifeson or Paul Simon in The Concert in Central Park. Ovation guitars' synthetic
bowl-shaped back and early use (1971) of pre-amplifiers, onboard equalization
and piezo pickups were particularly attractive to live acoustic musicians who
constantly battled feedback problems from the high volumes needed in live
venues.[citation needed]


ERGONOMICS[EDIT]

When he became one of Ovation Guitars's first endorsers, Glen Campbell suggested
reducing the weight of the guitar, which he had discovered caused back
strain.[17] After that, Ovation reduced the weight of several models and
pioneered 'super-shallow' guitar bodies.
While it was produced, Ovation's super-shallow 1867 Legend was the recommended
guitar in Robert Fripp's Guitar Craft.[18][19]Tamm (1990) wrote that the
acoustic 1867 Legend has 'a gently rounded super-shallow body design that may be
about as close to the shape and depth of an electric guitar as is possible
without an intolerable loss of tone quality. Fripp liked the way the Ovation
1867 fitted against his body, which made it possible for him to assume the
right-arm picking position he had developed using electric guitars over the
years; on deeper-bodied guitars, the Frippian arm position is impossible without
uncomfortable contortions.'[18]


MODEL OVERVIEW[EDIT]

The Ovation Guitar Company produces guitars under the names Ovation and Adamas.
Ovation has produced the Custom Legend 1769 ADII for Al Di
Meola(pictured).[model 7]
Ovation guitars have been also produced in China, South Korea and Indonesia.
Import models generally have a wooden top. Recently, Ovation significantly
reduced U.S production. From 2010 on, better models—Legend, Elite, Custom
Legend, Custom Elite—were made both in the U.S. and in Korea. Before that,
these models were U.S. made. In recent years, many U.S. made are identifiable by
'LX' in the product name (e.g., Legend 2077LX), whereas Korean versions have
'AX' in the model name (e.g., Legend 2077AX). Ovation does not use this
convention on all models (e.g., Ovation 1617ALE). Currently, Ovation produces
only a few U.S. made models, mostly signature and limited edition models (e.g.,
Custom Legend 1769-ADII Al DiMeola). Production of the standard model range of
Ovation guitars in the U.S. has been ceased under the ownership of Fender
Musical Instruments Corporation, but is about to be reinstated by the new owner
Drum Workshop.[12][20]
Ovation developed another signature guitar, an Adamas-model twelve-string guitar
for Melissa Etheridge(pictured).
The Adamas name mainly stands for guitars with a carbon fiber top, although
there are exceptions (one is the Adamas 2081WT - WT stands for woodtop). Until
the closure of the New Hartford, Connecticut factory in June 2014, all Adamas
models were produced in the U.S.[21]
LX does not only stand for U.S. made. Originally LX indicated an Ovation guitar
that included new features not available on previous models.
Back in 2007 Ovation explained on its website that new features included the new
OP-Preamp, an advanced neck system (lightweight dual-action truss rod, carbon
fiber stabilizers), a patented pickup (made of 6 elements), inlaid epaulets,
scalloped bracing, and a new hard composite Lyrachord GS body.[model 8] Back
then, there was no AX model line. The first AX models appeared on the
Ovation-website in 2010. Based on the website's history, the LX features were
introduced in 2004.


UPPER-LEVEL GUITARS: BALLADEER, LEGEND AND ELITE[EDIT]

There are mainly two lines:
 * Legend and Standard Balladeer models have one large sound hole as on most
   acoustic guitars (Standard Balladeer, Legend, Custom Legend - produced in
   Korea).

 * Elites have several smaller sound holes (Standard Elite, Elite, Custom Elite
   - produced in Korea).

The first Ovation guitar model was a Balladeer (later known as Standard
Balladeer)[model 9]
 * Ovation Model 1861 Standard Balladeer
 * Balladeer
 * Clasica Roger Waters model.
 * Patriot
 * Ultra (c.1995)
 * Collector's Series 2007-BCS[model 10]


ENTRY-LEVEL GUITARS: APPLAUSE AND CELEBRITY[EDIT]

Ovation has two lines of entry-level guitars.Applause, the lowest cost line,
with mainly laminated tops, is imported from China. Celebrity models are
imported from China or Korea, and range from entry-to-medium level laminated top
models, to high-end, solid top models with lots of ornamentation.
 * Applause
 * Applause AE-38
 * Celebrity Deluxe CC257
 * Celebrity CC44
 * Celebrity LCC047


ELECTRIC GUITARS: SEMI-HOLLOW AND SOLID BODIES[EDIT]

In 1967–1968, Ovation introduced its Electric Storm Series of semi-hollow
archtop guitars and basses. The pickups for these instruments were manufactured
by Rowe Industries, who produced DeArmond music products in Toledo, Ohio.
Production stopped in 1969.[22]
In 1972, Ovation introduced one of the first production solid-body
electric-guitars with active electronics, the Ovation Breadwinner. The model did
not become popular, however, and production of the Breadwinner and the Ovation
Deacon ceased in 1980. Ovation made several other solid-body models up until the
mid 1980s.[model 11] Since that time, the company has focused mainly on acoustic
and acoustic-electric guitars.
 * K-1260 Tornado (1967/1968), a thinline hollow body electric guitar[23]
 * Breadwinner (1970s)
 * Deacon (1973–1982)
 * K-1271 Viper (c.1974)[model 12]
 * K-1261 Magnum 1 bass (c.1978)[model 13]
 * K-1264 Magnum 4 bass (c.1978)[model 14]


OTHER INSTRUMENTS: ACOUSTIC BASS GUITARS, UKULELES, MANDOLINS[EDIT]

Ovation also offers bass guitars, ukuleles, and mandolins.
 * Ovation electro-acoustic bass guitar
 * Ovation electro-acoustic ukulele
 * Ovation electro-acoustic mandolin
