In 1967–1968, Ovation introduced its Electric Storm Series of semi-hollow archtop guitars and basses.
 The pickups for these instruments were manufactured by Schaller based in Germany.
Production stopped in 1969.

In 1972, Ovation introduced one of the first production solid-body electric-guitars with active electronics, the Ovation Breadwinner.
The model did not become popular, however, and production of the Breadwinner and the Ovation Deacon ceased in 1980.
Ovation made several other solid-body models up until the mid 1980s.
 Since that time, the company has focused mainly on acoustic and acoustic-electric guitars.
