A "Legend" at the Heart of Ovation Pro's DNA
For over five decades, Ovation has established itself among demanding musicians thanks to its bold design choices and modern approach to the electro-acoustic guitar. The Pro series gathers the historic models that built the brand's reputation, including the Legend, recognizable by its sonic identity designed to remain solid across the entire spectrum: full bass, assertive mids, and clear highs. A now-legendary anecdote even tells that a left-handed Ovation Legend was chosen as a Christmas gift for Paul McCartney.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
The Ovation Legend USA Natural Satin is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a reliable, expressive electro-acoustic guitar particularly comfortable with both pick playing and fingerpicking. Its Deep Bowl format and very balanced temperament make it an excellent choice for pop, acoustic rock, country, folk, and vocal accompaniment, with a true presence in the mix, whether played acoustically or plugged in.
The Sound
The solid Sitka spruce top provides clarity, definition, and a quick response, ideal for keeping notes clear even during sustained rhythms. The Deep Bowl body in Lyrachord GS, designed with glass micro-bubbles to gain lightness and resonance, promotes wide projection and a strong foundation in the low end. The A-bracing, placed along the grain, aims to optimize top vibration and enhances the presence of mids and lows for a homogeneous output across all frequencies. When plugged in, the combination of the OCP-1K pickup and the OP-Pro preamp (with tuner) delivers a usable signal for live performance, with a personality faithful to the Ovation tone: crisp attack, balance, and articulation.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To stay true to the original setup, opt for a set of light gauge steel acoustic strings 12-54 (equivalent to DR Dragon Skin DSA-12). For stage or recording via amp/DI, plan a good quality 6.35 mm instrument jack cable, essential to fully exploit the onboard preamp.
