Ovation Elite Tx Mid Cutaway Black Textured

An Elite Designed for the Stage, in the Tradition of Lyrachord Back Guitars

The Elite series has established itself with a strong identity: a Lyrachord back body and offset multiple soundholes, designed to offer stability, resistance to variations, and controlled projection. This Elite TX Mid Cutaway follows these codes, with a mid-depth GS format that balances comfort, acoustic volume, and plugged-in efficiency, while maintaining a very modern black textured aesthetic.

For Whom and in Which Styles?

Thanks to its cutaway and flat-profile neck, this electro-acoustic guitar suits both intermediate guitarists and advanced musicians looking for a reliable instrument to rehearse, record, and perform live. It excels in pop, acoustic rock, folk, and pick accompaniment, while remaining precise in fingerpicking.

Sound

The solid Sitka spruce top provides clarity and responsiveness, with a nice dynamic reserve when played harder. The profiled X bracing promotes sound openness and a balanced response across the spectrum. The Lyrachord GS mid-depth body enhances projection and definition, with a present but controlled bass, particularly useful for amplified playing. The OCP-1K pickup and OP-Pro preamp duo delivers a direct and usable sound, complemented by a built-in tuner ideal for quick changes during concerts.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original feel and balance, favor a set of Phosphor-Bronze Light gauge .012-.053 strings, identical to the factory-installed set: ADAMAS NUOVA COATED Phosphor-Bronze 1818NU Light .012-.053.
