Ovation Elite 1778TX-5 Mid Bowl Acoustic Electric Guitar

The Ovation Elite TX, from the Mod TX Collection, is purpose-built for the stage, combining high-performance features with bold aesthetics for the modern acoustic player. A solid AA Sitka spruce top and Ovation's scalloped X-bracing project with power and balance, while the signature multi-port soundholes reduce feedback and enhance tonal clarity. The deep-contour Lyrachord body ensures long-lasting playing comfort, adding warmth and punch to the low end.

A rock maple neck and Pau Ferro fretboard offer fast, responsive playability that electric players will find familiar, while the OP-Pro preamp and OCP1K pickup combo delivers studio-grade sound with versatile tone shaping. Finished in a rugged black textured top with matching die-cast tuners, the Elite TX is ideal for serious performers after a sleek, road-ready workhorse for live or recording use.
