Mark Kroos Loves the Electric Feel of Ovation Acoustic Guitars


Mid-depth body balances sonic projection and playing comfort





Ovation's unique mid-depth body style has earned a solid, devoted following in the acoustic world as a design that enhances lower-frequency projection and emits an even high and midrange tone that sits beautifully in the mix with other instruments. In addition, the unique contours provide a truly one-of-a-kind feel whether playing standing or seated ? a design we here at Sweetwater have come to love.





Onboard OP-Pro preamp





Ovation wrote the book on live acoustic guitar. They were the first company to introduce pickups and preamplifiers in the acoustic guitar, essentially inventing a new instrument. The Ovation Mod TX is equipped with an OP-Pro preamp, OCP-1K pickup, and 3-band EQ, letting you dial in stellar amplified tone that is balanced, natural, and full.





The history of Ovation





In 1964, Charlie Kaman set out to revolutionize the acoustic guitar by compiling a group of aerospace engineers to create something guitar players had never seen or heard before. They discovered that the flat backs of modern day acoustics actually hindered the balance and projection of the guitar. And so, the roundback designs found on Ovation guitars were born. As Charlie himself put it, "in helicopters, the engineers spend all their time trying to figure out how to remove vibration. To build a guitar, you spend your time trying to figure out how to put vibration in."
