Ben Morgan-Brown tries a very different kind of acoustic guitar
Ovation was responsible for a revolution in the acoustic guitar - its use of 'Lyrachord' plastic bowlbacks and the fitment of undersaddle bridge pickups liberated acoustic guitar players from the limitations of having to use the feedback plagued soundhole pickups of the era, or standing in front of a microphone. Take a look at videos from the 1970s and you can see the impact - suddenly these new US-made guitars were everywhere, freeing players to move around and perform more like their electrified brethren.
