Condor Ovation (Around 1970) First of all, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Joseph, a guitar collector and seller in the USA, who granted me permission to use the photos of this incredible guitar. This very rare and, to my knowledge, almost unique model was sold online for $1790. It is probably the first "synthesizer" guitar ever produced, even predating the Ludwig Phase II. This confirms that C. Kaman was always ahead of his time and constantly seeking innovation. Attached is a link to the superb guitars that Joseph is currently selling on oliviasvintage. Made based on a Hurricane "storm series" model, this guitar is equipped with a pickup mounted on a special bridge. This guitar was specifically designed to be equipped with this pickup, which is why the pickups are closer together than on a classic Hurricane, why it's called the "Condor," and why it's not an Ovation. The synthesizer is by Innovex, a division of Hammond.
