Ovation UKII 1291 - Vintage Guitar Magazine Article

2000 US 1 pages

This is a single-page article from Vintage Guitar magazine written by Michael Wright reviewing the 1980 Ovation UKII 1291 solidbody electric guitar. The article discusses Ovation's decade-long struggle to break into the solidbody electric guitar market, highlighting the UKII's unique construction of Urelite foam over a cast aluminum frame with a bolt-on mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard. The piece concludes that despite being a quality instrument, Ovation solidbodies never gained market traction due to the company straying from its core acoustic competency.
