Hi, folks,
Does anyone know if Ovation ever made a guitar that has a shallow body and is non-cutaway? I have been unable to find one and I'm not sure if they even made one.
Thanks,
Jim

Here's what I found:

1142 Matrix
1621 Artist
1624 Country Artist
1627 Glen Campbell
1642 Matrix
1661 Balladeer
1860 Custom Balladeer

I'm sure that if I'm off base, one of our more knowable members will 'pick me off'. This data was sorted from the available database.

Hey there 2ifbyC,
For real, these were available in the super-shallow body? All I have ever been able to find before was mid-depth or deep. I'll look into this,
Thanks,JIm

Jim,

I'm just going by the database I have. I do know know that the SSBs were later in the Ovation genealogy.

I'm sure that you'll get some expert knowledge shortly. If ya haven't done so yet, check out the models I listed HERE.

jsheetz,

You asked the question regarding shallow bowls. That's what was answered. If you're talking about supershallow bowls, then to the best of my knowledge, the answer is no, no ssb's that were not cutaways.

Anybody else?

Here's one, but as Beal says, it is a custom prototype Adamas SSB with a wood top, an experiment that lead to the 1537 the following year.
