The Ovation LX American Custom Elite Acoustic-Electric Guitar is noteworthy acoustically or plugged in. Hand-selected, sonically responsive AAA Sitka spruce resonates with a refined, scalloped bracing pattern that delivers what you've been looking for: a balanced tone of warmth and articulation with dynamics. The Ovation OCP1pickup and OP Pro Studio preamp offer our best sound ever, 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 version of our classic, 5-piece mahogany/maple 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 beautiful, nitrocellulose lacquer, high-gloss, black finish is an added touch that further sets these instruments apart from the rest. Play the LX Custom Elite and you'll discover what innovative design means to you. Includes hardshell case.
