An Elite in the Ovation Spirit: Designed for the Stage
With its Lyrachord "roundback" construction and multiple soundholes on the bass side, this Elite TX follows the Ovation tradition: an electro-acoustic guitar designed to offer strong projection, a modern feel, and reliable amplification. The GS format combined with the "Deep Contour" profile aims for better comfort against the body while maintaining the aesthetic and functional signature of the Elite series.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
This guitar is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists looking for an effective electro-acoustic for stage, rehearsals, and live recording. It is particularly suitable for chord playing, pop/rock, rhythmic folk, as well as more melodic parts thanks to the cutaway. The maple neck with a flat profile promotes a fast feel, appreciated for chord changes and lead passages.
Sound
The solid Sitka spruce top delivers clarity, precision, and volume reserve, with a beautiful response in the highs and good definition in strumming. The scalloped X bracing enhances the top's responsiveness and helps achieve a convincing balance between attack and sustain. The Lyrachord body contributes to a clear projection and focused tone, very comfortable in amplified contexts. The combination of Pau Ferro fingerboard and bridge adds clarity and a slightly drier attack, useful for keeping chords clear in a mix.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the same playing feel, favor a set of 12-53 acoustic strings in phosphor bronze, ideally in a coated version for better longevity. An acoustic guitar capo will also be suitable for easily adapting keys.
