The Ovation Balladeer S771-W (often called the Balladeer Special) is a well-regarded, USA-made acoustic-electric guitar from the late 90s/early 2000s, known for its rich sound, mid-depth bowl, and value as a "lower bling" version of standard Ovations, featuring OP-30 electronics, a natural satin finish, and rosewood fretboard, making it a solid, great-sounding gigging guitar.
