The parent, the first to have the "nomen". The guitar that he gave away everything and that has become the offspring of all the models that we know today: the Balladeer. The name, as you know, he was given after the presentation to the release of 14 November 1966, followed by a series of road shows and participation in trade fairs. That evening she performed a folk group the "Balladeers" network, which then was named for the guitar. Legend has it that the guitars (the Balladeer) that they played that night had obviously not yet the name engraved on the palette and the rating labels. They played really the first units left the factory. However, in an article of '66 always says that "the Balladeers" were a young band from the Connecticut Valley. Official invitation to the event instead Balladeers are presented as a folk group of Hampden, Massachusetts. Mystery or error? But where does the name Balladeers?
As a simple translation of the Balladeers are those who "sing ballads." Appears to be easy and appropriate name for a folk band, right? Wrong. Also legend has it that our folk group could not find a name for affection. "All the good ones are taken" refer to the chronicles of the time. They seem to have got its name after witnessing a bizarre incident in a small town in south-western U.S. pretend, specialized racing on the grass. That day they were witnesses and victims of the incident that saw two John Deere tractors of the brand (the yellow and green) that dragged two wagons full of grass, clash. The leader of the group, observing the wreckage, said "it looked like a ball of Deeres" in reference to John Deere tractors. Another member of the group (the banjo-player) said "THAT'S IT; Balladeeres!". The "e" in the final then was removed because irrelevant but a legend was born. You can believe or not, but that's it.
A study done on the net I found, like other bands or guitarists, photos or articles Balladeers. The only coupling could be the photo from the 1972 Ovation catalog that propose opening. Those portraits would be the "Balladeers. The story continues .........
