An Elite Designed for Amplified Playing, in the Ovation DNA
This Elite TX Super Shallow follows the tradition of Ovation electro-acoustic guitars: a Lyrachord body and a performance-oriented approach, with ergonomics designed to minimize bulk and facilitate pick and fingerstyle playing. The multiple soundholes on the bass side, a visual signature of the series, also contribute to the diffusion sensation and the model's sonic personality.
For Whom and Which Styles?
Thanks to its flat neck profile and Super Shallow body, this guitar is well suited for demanding beginners as well as intermediate players seeking an easy-to-handle electro-acoustic, reliable in rehearsals and effective on stage. It is particularly suitable for pop, acoustic rock, worship, funk rhythm playing, and pick accompaniments, while remaining comfortable for arpeggios and more nuanced parts once plugged in.
The Sound
The solid Sitka spruce top delivers clarity, a sharp attack, and a great dynamic range, ideal for cutting through a mix. The sculpted X bracing promotes overall balance and responsiveness, with good sustain retention on open chords. The Lyrachord Super Shallow body favors a sense of control and a focused response, highly appreciated in amplified playing and on stage monitors. On the electronics side, the OCP-1K pickup and OP-Pro preamp provide a direct, precise, and quickly usable sound, with the integrated tuner ensuring secure setting changes between songs.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To stay as close as possible to the original balance, opt for a set of Phosphor Bronze acoustic strings, Light gauge 12-53 (ideally coated if you seek longer lifespan and a consistent feel under the fingers).
