By mid-1966, according to Ovation, they realized that the parabolic shape produced a desirable tone with greater volume than the conventional dreadnought. To avoid the problem of a structurally unstable seam, the engineers proposed a synthetic back with a parabolic shape.
Unfortunately, the seam joining the sides to the thin back was prone to breakage. The innovation was the use of a thinner, synthetic back, because of its foreseen acoustic properties. Their first prototype had a conventional 'dreadnought' body, with parallel front and back perpendicular to the sides. The R&D team spent months building and testing prototype instruments. Kaman founded Ovation Instruments, and in 1965 its engineers and luthiers (guitar makers) worked to improve acoustic guitars by changing their conventional materials. One of these was Charles McDonough, who created the Ovation Adamas model. For the project, Kaman chose a small team of aerospace engineers and technicians, several of whom were woodworking hobbyists as well.
