Overview

An acoustic-electric guitar with Ovation's iconic contours for resonant amplified tone.

The Ovation Standard Balladeer 2771AX acoustic-electric guitar provides serious musicians a bold tone and sleek playability. Its solid Sitka spruce top and scalloped X-bracing generate a warm, balanced tone with shimmering highs and tight lows. The Balladeer's Deep Contour Lyrachord body is lightweight yet durable, allowing for hours of comfortable play.

Premium Woods Create a Powerful Voice

The Balladeer's solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany/maple neck provide a resonant combination of tonewoods that shape your unique sound. The spruce top's clarity and projection blend with mahogany's warmth for a balanced acoustic voice with punchy mids and sparkling highs. This mix of premium woods comes to life through Ovation's scalloped X-bracing, which allows the top to vibrate freely for full, open tone with rich overtones.

Deep Contour Body Delivers Playability and Protection

The Balladeer's Lyrachord composite body has Ovation's iconic deep contour bowl shape, which provides an ergonomic design that's lightweight on your shoulder and lap. Lyrachord is a durable, eco-friendly material resistant to changes in temperature and humidity. Its smooth, protective back shields the guitar's tonewoods, allowing you to play for hours without discomfort. The body's curved shape also enhances high-frequency response for shimmering treble tones.

OP-Pro Preamp Gives You Tonal Control

The Balladeer comes equipped with Ovation's OP-Pro preamp system which provides simple yet effective tonal shaping. Its easy-to-use three-band EQ lets you adjust bass, midrange and treble frequencies to suit your needs. You can also engage the preamp's tuner to silently tune your guitar on stage or in practice. Powered by two 2032 batteries, the OP-Pro preamp packs professional features into an intuitive design.

Fast Neck and Premium Appointments Inspire Your Playing

The 2771AX's five-piece mahogany/maple neck provides a smooth, rigid feel for nimble fretting. Its pau ferro fingerboard has a 10" radius and 20 frets, giving you a familiar playing surface optimized for chords and single-note lines. Premium touches like pearl oak leaf rosettes, abalone purfling and die-cast tuners demonstrate Ovation's commitment to quality and inspire your creativity. Overall, the 2771AX blends resonant tone with a fast, comfortable neck for an inspiring playing experience.
