The USA made Elite Series was given the full upgrade treatment. They’re lighter, louder, richer and fuller - all the things you want your guitar to be.
The smooth, hard composite Lyrachord GS body improves projection and reflects top vibrations better than traditional material and is now even stronger and lighter. The LX features a scalloped bracing pattern that evenly supports the top to provide the ultimate in acoustic output. The exotic wood leaf-shaped “epaulets” are now inlaid into the top with laser precision.
Your new Ovation guitar is equipped with the OP-Pro preamp system.

It provides you with that essential “plugged-in” sound and offers a range of features that will enhance your performance in any venue.

The USA made Elite T Series is designed as an alternative to the traditional Ovation Elite series. Shedding the classic multi-piece hardwood epaulet sound hold decorations, this new model incorporates a simpler, untrimmed, 11-hole pattern that enhances the low and mid range punch. The rock maple neck profile has also been slimmed down to give it a look and feel more appealing to electric players. An ultra light, yet incredibly durable, textured enamel finish is wrapped around the entire back and top.
The Ovation 2078T features a Deep Contour body with a solid spruce top, quintad bracing, and a satin finish maple neck with an ebony fingerboard. Black tuners, a tusq nut and an ebony bridge keep your intonation right on the mark and give your strings the surfaces they need to perform at their best. An Ovation Original Patented Pickup and OP-Pro preamp w/chromatic tuner make plugging in satisfying, not frustrating. Straplok strap buttons keep your baby secure.

We just received Takamine’s newest G-series acoustic electric dreadnought guitar, the EG531SCDR Dragon! It’s an EG531SC with a Dragon motif! This level of artistic detail is normally reserved for much more expensive guitars. Absolutely stunning!

Hello Fellow Musicians,
Fender, who recently purchased Kaman, announced that they are moving the Guild production facility to the current production facility of USA Ovation in New Hartford, CT. They will then re-locate the Ovation plant to Korea. That means the majority of the USA line will be discontinued. There is still inventory at Ovation’s USA facility and room has to be made for Guild. Ovation has announced a price reduction on select models from their New Hartford, CT factory. This is your chance to take home a top-of-the-line USA Ovation guitar at a value never offered before. Save up to 60%!
Don’t miss this once in a lifetime opportunity, act fast! The inventory is extremely limited and once it’s gone, it’s gone.
