Bought new and never left the house and only got picked at once and awhile. Comes with case. An Ovation Acoustic-electric Built to Melissa's Specs Ovation pulled out all the stops in sitting down to design a signature instrument with acoustic rock legend Melissa Etheridge. The Melissa Etheridge Signature acoustic-electric guitar features a AA solid spruce top for enhanced sustain for leading or chording, a comfortable Mid-depth Lyrachord composite body with X-bracing for a big, full-range sound unplugged or direct, and a durable five-piece mahogany/maple neck with a responsive ebony fretboard. Melissa's personal touches include white pearloid soundhole epaulets and a signature "ME" Venus 12th-fret inlay. The onboard Ovation OCP-1K pickup and Op-Pro Studio preamp give this guitar a natural and dynamic direct tone, and the powerful EQ section lets players take control of their tone straight from the stage.
