Overview

The major point of difference between Ovation and most other guitar manufacturers is their use of Lyrachord instead of wood for the body of their guitars - the bodies are also shaped like a bowl.

Lyrachord is a proprietary material created by Ovation which uses glass fibers and resin a bit like fiberglass but with properties that seem to work quite well tonally as a replacement for wood.

When analyzing the AB24's ratings we consistently found reports that it plays well and is well built.

If you want a budget acoustic-electric that you don't have to worry about, can throw on the lounge or take camping, then this is a great option.
