Ovation Roundback Bowl: Unique – Technical Update #3 for the Guitarist

1985 US

This 1985 Ovation Instruments advertisement is the third in a series of technical updates for guitarists, focusing on the unique Roundback Bowl design. It explains how Ovation engineers in the mid-1960s returned to the rounded back shape for superior tone projection, using a light and strong Lyrachord molded body. The ad features the Acoustic Electric Elite (1537-4) and diagrams illustrating the deep, shallow, and super shallow bowl configurations, along with structural details of the heel block design.
