Used Ovation 1712 Custom Balladeer

The Ovation 1712 Custom Balladeer is a classic American-made acoustic-electric known for its iconic roundback design, stage-ready electronics, and bright, projecting tone. Built during the golden era of Ovation USA production, this model features a solid spruce top paired with the signature Lyrachord composite back, giving it excellent projection and resistance to feedback—perfect for live performance.

This one sports the classic tobacco sunburst finish with the ornate multi-ring rosette and diamond inlays, giving it that unmistakable Ovation look. The onboard FET preamp with 3-band EQ makes it easy to dial in your tone whether you're plugged in on stage or recording. These were widely used by gigging musicians for their reliability and consistent amplified sound.
