Ovation 1617-4 Legend Natural (1980s)
Description
Description
This second hand guitar is in very good condition
The Ovation 1617-4 Legend from the 1980s is a standout electro-acoustic guitar that blends innovative design with classic tonewoods, making it a cult favorite among players who appreciate both projection and playability.
Build & Materials
- Top: Solid Sitka spruce, offering crisp articulation and dynamic response.
- Back & Sides: Ovation’s signature Lyrachord bowl back—lightweight, durable, and engineered for enhanced projection and feedback resistance.
- Neck: Five-piece maple/mahogany laminate, providing strength and stability with a touch of visual flair.
- Fingerboard: Ebony, smooth and fast-playing with excellent sustain.
- Bridge: Walnut, complementing the tonal warmth and aesthetic of the top.
- Tuners: Gold-plated Ovation tuners—functional and classy.
Sound & Electronics
- Acoustic Tone: Bright and balanced, with a pronounced midrange and shimmering highs. The bowl back gives it a unique voice, less boomy than a dreadnought, but more focused and articulate.
- Plugged-In Performance: Equipped with an OP-40 active preamp and pickup system (in later models), it delivers clean, natural amplification with onboard EQ shaping. Earlier versions may feature simpler electronics but still offer reliable stage performance.
Playability
- The shallow bowl design makes it comfortable to play seated or standing.
- Low action and a fast neck profile cater to fingerstyle players and strummers alike.
- The cutaway (on some variants) allows easy access to upper frets, ideal for lead work.
Vintage Appeal
- These guitars were ahead of their time in terms of materials and electronics.
- The 1617-4’s natural finish and understated elegance make it a timeless piece.
- While some purists prefer traditional wood backs, Ovation’s composite approach offers durability and consistent tone across climates.
