Hi Bill...

GREAT point...YES! Absolutely Charles Kaman/Ovation. He definitely helped changed the acoustic guitar industry in a big way. You have to be "of a certain age {;-)" to remember how popular Ovation guitars became in the early/mid 70's. For a period of time, they really became the "go to" guitar of a significant number...a majority perhaps even...of professional musician's and entertainers.
