Ovation 2005 ES Collector's Edition with original case in excellent condition.
From 1982 to 2010, Ovation released a special limited-edition guitar each year known as the Collectors Series. These instruments weren’t just offered in new colours or fancy finishes, they served as a platform for Ovation to introduce their latest design ideas and technological innovations. Some of those ideas became mainstream features, while others were refined or retired. Every Collectors Series model had its own identity, and many were truly groundbreaking for the guitar industry.
The Ovation 2005 ES Collector’s Edition was the model that introduced the innovative Deep Contour bowl design, crafted for greater comfort. Featuring a select Engelmann spruce top, LX bracing, and a sleek ebony fingerboard, this model blends premium materials with modern engineering. The OP-PRO preamp with both ¼″ and balanced XLR outputs delivers exceptional plugged-in performance, making it a favourite for stage and studio players alike. With elegant abalone appointments and USA-made build quality, the 2005 ES stands out as one of Ovation’s most refined and collectible modern models.
