Handcrafted American Innovation!
Only 50 of these guitars will be offered in 2010. Each Limited Edition Adirondack Elite 2078LE comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Handcrafted in Ovation's flagship workshop in New Hartford, Connecticut, the new Limited Edition Adirondack Elite honors the company's long tradition of building innovative American guitars. This collectable instrument boasts an Adirondack spruce soundboard and striking soundhole decorations made of American walnut, cherry, oak, and hickory. And for the first time, Ovation's luthiers are making the Limited Edition model's signature 5-piece neck from walnut with oak and cherry center laminations. Other features of this remarkable guitar include a Contour Bowl composite body, which maximizes acoustic output and is ergonomically designed for comfort in any playing position, a walnut fretboard with cherry inlays, a cherry peghead overlay, walnut body binding, and Ovation's acclaimed OP-Pro Studio preamp.
Made from glass-microsphere impregnated Lyrachord composite, Ovation's Contour Bowl is designed to provide maximum acoustic response with the feel of a small-body instrument. Sculpted to fit the contour of the player's anatomy, the lightweight Lyrachord GS body is a joy to hold, whether sitting or standing. A Contour Bowl body has the acoustic projection, midrange punch, and huge bottom end of a traditional jumbo-style instrument, yet offers the playing comfort of Ovation’s Super-Shallow body. With its tough-as-nails construction, this body shape represents the latest evolution of Ovation’s pioneering roundback design.
The OP-Pro Studio combines state-of-the-art audio quality with exclusive features designed to meet the needs of professional guitarists. The easy-to-operate unit offers 3-band EQ, exciter and compressor/limiter circuitry, and a chromatic tuner. Ovation’s exclusive Expressor and Drive sliders put dynamic control and harmonic enhancement at your fingertips, allowing you to dial in the precise amount of sustain and punch required by the music.
