Has a classical Elite ever been produced?

Is there such a thing as a 12 string Classical O?

Thanks in advance. This board has always been helpful.

Al has or had a very intersting Elite-style nylon on his website. Kim Keller had a similar guitar at the OFC jam. Sam has a very cool classical with unique multiple rosettes, so nylon Elites exist but not as standard production.

12 String nylon? Probably only practical as doubled rather than octave strings. Very early guitars were gut-string & double-coursed.

Im very sure a few have been made.During my visit to the Ovation factory there was a beautiful gloss black deep bowl cutaway Elite classical being built for someone.It looked amazing with the slothead 12 fret..
The classical i own is a Woodtop(cedar) adamas classical prototype.At least that's what the label say's..It has HUGE sound .Its pictured in the galary if anyone wants to see it..
