Highest-quality materials and outstanding sound: Elite represents the top-of-the-line models within the Ovation lineup. The tops of these instruments are marked by their unrivaled flexibility and are among the best on the market today. No fewer than 300 individual pieces of the finest Abalone have been hand-inlaid by experienced workers and serve as a perfect example of the skilled craftsmanship of the Ovation luthiers.
Ovation has added a host of improvements to their 1778LX Mid-Depth Acoustic-Electric Guitar, making it lighter, louder, richer and fuller - all the things you want your guitar to be.
The smooth, hard composite Lyrachord GS body of the Ovation 1778LX Elite LX electric-acoustic improves projection and reflects top vibrations better than traditional material, and is now even stronger and lighter. The 1778LX 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.
The Op-Pro Preamp is voiced to give you arena-sized sound with a minimum of EQ gymnastics. Every improvement comes directly from the needs of pro players and sound engineers. The patented pickup utilizes six separate elements that sense both string and top vibration, giving you a better string-to-string balance, no matter what string type or guage you use. Designed in collaboration with Al DiMeola and Melissa Etheridge, the new OP-PRO combines state-of-the-art audio quality with guitarist-friendly features for a preamp that should please even the most discriminating player.
Play a LX and prepare to be impressed by the hugeness of the acoustic sound. Deeper, richer but with the legendary Ovation balance and clarity.
