Ovation took a different approach to acoustic guitar design during the late '60s and '70s, with founder Charles Kaman drawing on his background in aerospace engineering to develop the distinctive rounded composite bowl back construction. Glen Campbell was one of the company's earliest and most prominent high profile players, helping bring Ovation guitars to a much wider audience through his recordings and television appearances. His close association with the brand led to the development of this signature model, one of the more deluxe instruments in the Ovation range at the time.
The 1127 features a Sitka spruce top paired with Ovation's distinctive composite bowl back, along with an ebony fingerboard, pearl inlays, gold hardware and an ornate soundhole rosette. The neck has a particularly comfortable, slim profile, closer in feel to an electric guitar than many traditional acoustics of the period.
This 1975 example is in very good condition for its age, with only minor signs of use and no repairs to report. The original piezo pickup has been removed at some point, although we would be happy to fit a replacement should one be required. This guitar includes its original brown Ovation hard case.
This guitar has been given a full service by our luthiers at the Vintage Instrument Workshop, and includes a 1 year warranty.
