“The first Ovation was born in 1966, when the engineer Charlie Kaman introduced a guitar with a parabolic back made from a glass-fiber material, patented as Lyrachord, which he had originally produced for helicopter parts. He found that the material enhanced the projection and sustain of a musical instrument. Kaman and his company would eventually help advance the amplification of acoustic guitars by incorporating undersaddle piezo pickups and, later, onboard preamps, equalizers, and tuners.
The country picker Glen Campbell was an early adopter of Ovation, and the company has enjoyed an impressive roster of endorsers. Yngwie Malmsteen, Al Di Meola, and Kaki King are among the players to rely on signature Ovation models to keep up with the demands of their highly pyrotechnical styles. But these instruments are not just for the extreme virtuoso. Ovation’s Celebrity Standard line, which includes this CS24P-FKOA, offers instruments accessible to any type of player.”
