Here Elite is for everyone. The Ovation American LX Custom Elite Acoustic-Electric Guitar is noteworthy acoustically or plugged in. Hand-selected, sonically responsive AAA Sitka Spruce resonates with a new, refined scalloped X bracing pattern, giving us what we've been looking for: a balanced tone of warmth and articulation with dynamics. The Ovation OCP1pickup and OP Pro Studio preamp dial in intuitively, providing an exceptional signal to any sound system, studio board or stage amp. Inlaid exotic wood epaulettes add astounding visuals while Ovation's unique multi-port soundhole design allows the top to vibrate freely. A redesigned 5-piece Mahogany Neck is fast and light and features a dual-action truss rod and both an advanced neck joint and heel block for increased stability. The stunning natural finish in clear nitrocellulose lacquer is an added touch that further sets these instruments apart from the crowd. Play the LX Custom Elite and you'll discover what innovative design means to you. Includes hardshell case.
