Celebrating 60 Years of Ovation
Six decades of the roundback revolution
1966 – 2026
Welcome to
OVATION TRIBUTE
Preserving 60 Years of Guitar Heritage
Check these two places on your guitar:
- Back of the headstock — stamped into the wood
- Inside the body — on a label visible through the soundhole, near the neck joint
Adamas owners: angle a light or use your phone camera through the upper soundholes to spot the internal label.
Tip: Don't confuse the 4-digit model number (e.g. 1868) with the serial — the serial is the longer number.
