Electric Guitars: Semi-hollow and Solid Bodies
In 1967–1968, Ovation introduced and produced its Electronic Storm guitars with semi-hollow bodies; production stopped in 1969.
In 1972, Ovation introduced one of the first production solid-body electric-guitars with active electronics, the Ovation Breadwinner. The model failed to gain widespread popularity, however, and production of the Breadwinner and the Ovation Deacon ceased in 1980. Ovation made several other solid-body models up until the mid 1980s. Since that time the company's main focus has been acoustic and acoustic-electric guitars.
