Congratulations on buying an Ovation Roundback Guitar.Since its introduction in 1966, the Ovation Roundback hasbeen acclaimed the world over for its dramatic technicaladvances and musical refinements that literally changed theshape of music.This owner's manual has been prepared to acquaint you withdetails of the special features found on your Roundback, andto provide you with the facts and tips you will need to maintainyour guitar. More detailed information concerning the design, manufacture, and materials used in the making of yourOvation Roundback can be found in Ovation literature available from your Authorized Ovation Dealer or by writing to ushere at Ovation.Kaman Music CorporationMission StatementWe are dedicated to maintaining aposition of industry leadership by offeringa wide range of music products and thehighest quality service to our customers.Address service correspondence toOvation Instruments37 Greenwoods Road, New Hartford, CT 060571-860-379-7575Care And MaintenanceLike all fine instruments, Ovation Roundback guitars requireperiodic care and maintenance. Your instrument will performbest if it is kept clean. A routine cleaning of the instrument usinga clean lint-free cloth and a light coat of a quality guitar polish willkeep your Roundback looking and performing at its peak. Goldplated parts especially should be wiped clean after eachplaying to prevent corrosion from body acids.We strongly recommend the purchase and use of an OvationRoundback molded guitar case. Specially designed toaccommodate Roundback Ovation guitars, it offers the bestpossible protection against damage. The inside of the case isplush-lined and form-fitted to hold the guitar snugly and securely.An inside case pocket allows storage of strings and smallaccessories.The guitar is held firmly in the case by a pad in the lid whichpresses lightly against the top of the guitar when the lid isclosed. The pad can sometimes absorb polish from the guitar,leaving a dull area on it. This can quickly be restored to a highgloss finish with a quality guitar polish. Any marks on the bowlwhere it has been in contact with the lining of the case can beremoved in the same way.Always store the instrument at room temperature, avoiding anyexcessively hot, cold, damp or dry conditions. The delicatewoods used in instrument construction are greatly affected bychanges in humidity and temperature. A neck warp or top crackcan render any fine guitar unplayable. You may wish to purchasea humidity/moisture packet that can be carried in your case tocompensate for any changes in these climatic conditions.Check with your Ovation dealer for availability.For your records, we suggest you make a note of Model,Serial Number, and the date you purchased your Ovationguitar:Date of/ /Model # Serial# PurchaseKeep your instrument tuned to concert pitch under normalplaying and storage situations. However, if the instrument is tobe stored for a long period of time, reduce the string tensionslightly; one or two turns of each tuning machine will beadequate.12

There are a few simple precautions that you can take whiletransporting your Ovation guitar that will minimize the chancesof damage. When transporting the guitar in a car, always keepthe case on the floor so that it will not move around inside thecar in case of a sudden stop. Also, avoid storing the guitar inthe trunk of a car, where it will be exposed to extremes of heatand cold. Always avoid freezing temperatures, as this canresult in the top finish cracking.When travelling by air, always loosen the strings slightlybefore checking the guitar as baggage. The airlines will not beliable for instruments damaged as a result of their being tunedto full concert pitch.The Ovation family grows .The original Roundback guitar was developed in the mid1960's.

Your new Ovation guitar is equipped with the latest in a series of preamps thathave provided musicians with leading-edge performance designed specifically to complement the unique character of Ovation guitars.Please refer to the appropriate diagram on the following pages to help acquaint yourself with the features and functions of your instrument.VOLUME:BASS:MID:Adjusts the overall output level of the preamp.Adds or subtracts the low frequency content of the signal.Controls the amount of a broad range of frequencies inthe middle of the sound spectrum of the guitar.MID1:Controls the amount of power in lower middle frequencies.MID2:Controls the amount of power in upper middle frequenciesTREBLE:Adds or subtracts the high frequency content of the signal.EQ IN/OUT: Engages or bypasses the EQ controls.PRESHAPE: Engages or bypasses a fixed tone enhancement circuit.MID SHIFT: Moves the center frequency of the midrange control.NOTCH SW: Enables or disables the Notch Filter (see ).NOTCH POT: This control is used to tune a very sharp and deep filterdesigned to reduce feedback when using high-gain amplification. At a high volume level, your guitar may “feedback”causing a low, steady tone to come from your speakers.With the notch filter enabled, slowly tune this control tothe feedback frequency (CW higher frequency, CCW lowerfrequency) until the feedback is reduced.TUNE/CAL: This switch turns on the built-in tuner for approximately 60seconds. Press a second time while playing a note and thispitch will become the calibration point for operation(handy when tuning to an “out-of tune” instrument). Duringthe tuning operation the guitar output will be muted. If youfinish tuning prior to the 60 second timer returning the tunerto idle (and un-mute), you may press this button again tomanually return the preamp to normal operation.TUNER LEDs: These LEDs indicate the note being played and whether it’ssharp or flat. Tune string up or down until the LED lights.BAT:When steadily illuminated, indicates that the battery is lowand should be changed soon. Also intermittently flasheswhen plug is inserted into jack to confirm normal operation.RELEASE: Pressing this button will release the module from its receptacle. Use this button to access to the battery compartment.MODULE:The preamp is housed within this module and mates to thereceptacle mounted in the body. Remove this module to gainaccess to the battery compartment. See the illustration onthe last page for instructions on replacing the battery.7OP-30OP-40OP-508

Ovation Factory Set-up . . .and Stringing GuidelineShims For Action AdjustmentOvation guitars, basses, mandolins and LongNecks go throughnumerous detailed steps to ensure that our instruments play tothe highest standards possible.The following standard factory setting, saddle height, actionadjustment and tension rod adjustments represent thetolerances when your instrument is shipped.Set-upAction Setting - The following standard factory actions are in32nds of an inch measured from the top of the 12th fret to thebottom of the string.BassAcoustic & acousticelectric steel ble RecommendedKamanString Sets21818-6 strg2Long Neck2-1/21616-12 Acoustic 31-1/222-1/28080Ball-endmandolin /29090Ball-endmandocello setSaddle HeightThe maximum distance from the bottom of the strings to the topof the bridge is 6/32"The minimum distance from the bottom of the strings to the topof the bridge is 2/32".Tension Rod AdjustmentFrom .005" to .015" of warp is acceptable.9Acoustic/Acoustic-Electric guitars have a minimum of two (2)shims and a maximum of four (4) shims.The Hand Rubbed Urethane Oil NeckThis neck finish is available on most Ovation models. If yourguitar has it, you will notice a natural wood feel on the neck. Itrequires a higher level of maintenance than a gloss finishedneck.Approximately once a month, if you play daily, you will want toapply a commercially available wax. We recommend.O TrewaxO Lundmark's Clear Paste WaxO Butcher's Bowling Alley Paste WaxThey are available at most hardware stores.The Ovation BridgesThe Ovation bridges found on our Roundback guitars aredesigned to take full advantage of the uniqueconstruction of our instruments. Thinner in design,the bridges help transmitthe string vibrations moreefficiently."Standard action" for allOvation steel string guitars is 6/64" at the bass E string and 4/64" at the treble E string (measured as the distance between thebottom of the string and the top of the 12th fret). This action isnormally achieved with 1-3 shims beneath the saddle. Thesesettings were chosen to suit the requirements of a broad rangeof players. If you wish to change the action, however, use thefollowing procedures:1. Loosen or remove the strings.2. Remove the saddle carefully. This is a delicate operationparticularly if you have an acoustic-electric model. Becertain not to pull or force the wiring beneath the saddle.3. For lower than standard action, remove the shim beneaththe saddle. Removing one shim will lower the action by 1/64"at the 12th fret.10

Depending on your playing style, an extremely low actionsetting may contribute to fret buzz. When occurring because oflow action, this is not considered to be a defect in the instrument.If you are in doubt about the action setting of your Roundback,consult your Ovation Dealer.Adjusting The NeckAll Ovation guitars feature an adjustable steel tension rod. Thetension rod serves two purposes. It counterbalances stringtension, giving the neck additional strength. And it permitsadjustment of the neck should changes in humidity, stringtension, or changing the string gauge cause the neck to warpor bow.If you wish to adjust the tension rod of your Ovation, please usethe procedure which applies to your particular model fromamong the following. We do, however, recommend that youcontact your Authorized Ovation Dealer if you are unsure aboutany part of the procedure.To Check For Warp Or Bow In The Neck:1. Hold the 6th string, E, between the nut and first fret with yourleft hand; with your right hand, hold the string against thefingerboard at the 13th fret.005" to .015"2. Check the clearance between the bottom of the string andthe top of the 5th fret.3. The clearance should be a minimum of .005"to .015" depending on the string gauge. It should not bemore than .032" (1/32"), or theneck has a "warped" condition and must be adjusted at thetension rod.4. Check the clearance of the first string, E, in the samemanner.5. If either E string touches the 5th fret, the neck has a "bowed"condition and must be adjusted at the tension rod.If Your Ovation Has A Truss Rod Cover:1. To adjust a Roundback with a traditionaltruss rod nut, remove the rod cover onthe guitar peghead.2. Adjustments may be made to the neckusing a 1/4" hex nut driver or an OvationAdjustment Wrench (#950014-X-11).3. Clockwise rotation of the adjustmentwill tighten the tension rod to correct awarped condition. Use the previousprocedure to check your adjustment.Make sure that you do not overtightenthe tension rod and lose the clearanceat the 5th fret.4. Counterclockwise rotation of the adjustment nut will loosenthe tension rod to correct a bowed condition. Loosen thetension rod until the proper clearance can be seen at the 5thfret.5. Replace the rod cover, being careful not to strip the screwholes.If Your Ovation Has A Kaman BarTM:1. To adjust a Roundback with a Kaman Bar, find the KamanBar adjustment located at the heel of the neck on the insideof the bowl.2. Reaching inside the guitar, place the Ovation AdjustmentWrench (#950033-X, available from your Dealer) on thetension rod adjustment nut. The adjustment socket islocated just beneath the guitar top. Be certain the adjustmentwrench is securely in position.1112

3. Clockwise rotation of thetension rod adjustment willtighten the tension rod tocorrect a warped condition.Use the previously outlinedprocedure to check youradjustment. Make sure thatyou do not overtighten thetension rod and lose theclearance at the 5th fret.4. Counterclockwise rotation of theadjustment nut will loosen the tension rod until the properclearance can be seen at the 5th fret.SPECIAL NOTE: The Kaman Bar adjustment is very sensitive.One half turn on the nut when the rod is under tension willproduce a significant change at the first fret, so turn itconservatively and check the neck frequently as you adjust it.Rear Access Models:For Rear Access models, accessis via the door in the back of thebowl. In all other respects proceedas for other Kaman Bar models.These models require a longerhandle adjustment wrench,(#950059-X). Your Rear Accessguitar has a screw in the center ofthe access door. Loosen the screw until the door can first beslid to one side, then to the other, to remove it. Take care notto completely remove the screw. Reverse the procedure toreplace the door.The Ovation Acoustic-ElectricMany Ovation Roundback guitars come with the now famousbuilt-in acoustic-electric pickup and preamplifier system.Located directly beneath the Celcon saddle whichautomatically compensates for intonation, six piezo electrictransducers amplify not only the vibrations of the strings fromthe top of the saddle, but also transmit their mechanicalaction on the guitar top.13The preamplifier used in the OvationAcoustic-Electric guitar obtains itspower from a single, 9-volt batteryfound in the battery box inside thebowl. For optimum performance, werecommend using a 9-volt alkalinebattery. Current is drawn only when acord is plugged into the guitar, sofrequency of battery replacement willdepend on how often the acousticelectric feature is used. Alwaysremember to unplug your guitar whennot in use. This will extend the battery life considerably.Noise or distortion detected in the output is usually a signthat a new battery is required.Some Ovation guitars use the Ovation Thin Line piezosaddle pickup. Similar in operation to the original Ovationpickup, the vibration of strings over the saddle creates smallchangesinthepressure exerted onthe six small piezocrystalelementslocated under eachsaddle section (oneper string). Thischange in pressure onthe piezo crystalcauses an electricalcharge to appear at the output terminals of each element.The output of each crystal is then added to the othersresulting in an electrcal signal corresponding to the vibrationsof all strings. As in all Ovations, this signal is amplified andprocessed with onboard electronics and finally connected toa P.A. system or amplifier. The Ovation Thin Line offers amore traditional look as well as the rugged constructionwhich make Ovation guitars the guitars for use on the road.To Replace The Battery:Simply push the latch in the direction of the arrow and thebattery holder will slide out. The box is designed to only allowthe battery to fit in the holder in it’s proper position.14

The Adamas TopThe single feature that sets Adamas guitars apart from otherOvation Roundbacks and especially from the other acousticguitars, is the top.Maintenance and set up of the Mandolin is similar to that ofRoundback guitars. However, there are a few points youshould know.Action AdjustmentA guitar top should be strong, yet light andresonant. It's the flexibility of the top thatlargely determines the sound output. Eventhe best spruce tops have their limitations.Too thick, and the tone is weak andharmonically limited. Too thin, and the topcan warp and crack. The Adamas topsolves both of these problems.Called a Fibronic soundboard, the Adamas top is built withtwo .005" carbon-graphite outer layers with a .030" layer ofbirch veneer in the center bonded together under hightemperature.Fans and braces have been developed specifically for theFibronic soundboard to achieve the design goal of 3dbamplitude response over the entire playing range of theguitar.Factory settings for the Mandolin are :5/64" on the low G4/64" on the treble EMeasurements are the distance between the bottom of thestring and the top of the 12th fret. You can adjust your actionsettings by adding or removing shims. See details on shimadjustments in the guitar section of this manual.StringsThe Ovation Mandolin and Mandocello are strung in a nontraditional way, which makes restringing quicker and easier.Our bridge design also contributes to a strong, clear sound,both acoustically and acoustic electrically.The stringing meth
