DESCRIPTON: The USA made Elite T Series is designed as an alternative to the traditional Ovation Elite series. Shedding the classic multi-piece hardwood epaulet sound hole decorations, this new model incorporates a simpler, untrimmed, 11-hole pattern that enhances the low and mid range punch. The rock maple neck profile has also been slimmed down to give it a look and feel more appealing to electric players. An ultra light, yet incredibly durable, textured enamel finish is wrapped around the entire back and top.
The Elite T is outfitted with the new Ovation OP30 preamp featuring 3-band EQ, pre-shape and mid-shift buttons, and a full on-board chromatic tuner. |
