1769-1 Custom Legend
The Custom Legend is Ovation's celebrated model, known for its distinctive design and sound. founded in 1965 by Charles Kaman, Ovation introduced innovation into guitar design. Using Kaman's background in aeronautical engineering, he modernized the acoustic guitar by using synthetic composite materials instead of traditional wooden construction. The main goal was to reduce feedback and increase the guitar's durability. This made it an attractive option for live performance musicians.
The Custom Legend itself contributes to its aesthetic appeal with an inlaid soundhole design inserted in Avalon. The same carved shape of the bridge on the Super Adamas is a sight to behold.
The one presented here is a "1769-1 Custom Legend" manufactured in 1994.
This particular model features a sunburst finish and a deep bowl cutaway.
It is equipped with Ovation's signature OP24 preamp, and we are very happy to say that it produces a solid acoustic guitar sound with these specifications.
Even when the knobs are turned to maximum, the sound is not as peaky as one might expect, and each bandwidth is raised naturally, making it one of the factors that make it so useful in live performances.
There is some checking around the soundhole, but considering that it was manufactured in 1995, it is in good condition.
The number of USA-made Ovation guitars is decreasing every year, so now may be a good time to buy one.
