Bought new but hardly ever touched it. Kept to the old and comfortable so this stayed in the closet. Probably shouldn't have. Ah, well... Comes with original case. The Ovation American LX Custom Elite C2078LX has a AAA Sitka Spruce Top, Lyrachord Deep Contour Back and Sides, 5 PC Mahogany/Maple/Mahogany Neck, Ebony Fingerboard w/10" Radius, Schaller Die-Cast Tuners, Ovation OP Pro Studio Preamp w/Ovation OCP1k Pickup, Incl. Hard Case. Here Elite is for everyone. The Ovation American LX Custom Elite Acoustic-Electric Guitar is noteworthy acoustically or plugged in. Hand-selected, sonically responsive AAA Sitka Spruce resonates with a new, refined scalloped X bracing pattern, giving us what we've been looking for: a balanced tone of warmth and articulation with dynamics. The Ovation OCP1pickup and OP Pro Studio preamp dial in intuitively, providing an exceptional signal to any sound system, studio board or stage amp. Inlaid exotic wood epaulettes add astounding visuals while Ovation's unique multi-port soundhole design allows the top to vibrate freely. A redesigned 5-piece Mahogany Neck is fast and light and features a dual-action truss rod and both an advanced neck joint and heel block for increased stability. The beautiful sunburst Nitro finish is an added touch that further sets these instruments apart from the crowd. Play the LX Custom Elite and you'll discover what innovative design means to you. Includes hardshell case.
