This is where Ovation's artistry runs deep. Elite models build upon our philosophy of constructing unique instruments for visionary players. With their striking silhouettes and understated finishes, Elite Series guitars make a statement all their own. Known for reliability in any performance situation, this is a guitar that was built to shift the musical landscape. 

The classic Ovation Elite is better than it's ever been. The AA grade, solid, Sitka spruce top finished in Black features LX scalloped bracing, abalone body and fretboard inlays, and deluxe, ebony fretboard and bridge. With the deep contour, Lyrachord®'s body maximizes acoustic output and is ergonomically designed for comfort in any playing position. Laser-cut, exotic wood epaulets and multi-port soundholes on the upper bout give focused articulation. A cutaway offers full access to the 5-piece, mahogany/maple neck. The full-featured OP-Pro preamp includes a 3-band equalizer, Pre EQ, and onboard tuner and connects to any sound system, stage amp, or recording console. Case not included.
