Ovation Elite models are special, both for the eyes and the ears.

They dispense with the classic sound hole in the middle of the top in favor of several smaller openings at the edge of the guitar, called Multi Soundholes. This special construction has two positive effects: firstly, it increases the available vibration surface in the center of the soundboard, and secondly, the sound comes out much closer to the ear of the person playing.

Visually, the Multi Soundholes are unique in themselves. Some models are additionally decorated with elegant epaulettes. A guaranteed eye-catcher on all stages.

Another contributor towards the appealing acoustic sound of these instruments are their high-quality spruce tops made of grade-A wood.

But what would an Ovation be without the typical electro-acoustic sound via amp or PA?

This is provided by an OCP1K pickup, whose extra-large piezo crystals pick up the vibrations not only from the strings but also from the top.

For further processing of the signal, an OP-Pro preamp is used in this model series.

The instruments of the Elite TX series are particularly unique, and it is no coincidence that they are very popular in the rock and metal scene. Those who are used to playing electric guitars especially benefit enormously from features like the maple neck, which not only stands for a fast response and good sustain, but is also equipped with a flat neck profile for optimal playability.

As an added bonus, all TX models are finished in a beautiful, genre-matching Black Textured finish.
