A class of its own.

Extraordinary features, excellent sounds and a consistently high level of quality are the basic recipe of the Ovation Pro-Series.

Over the last five decades, Ovation has made a name for itself through groundbreaking developments and modern designs, especially in circles of advanced and professional musicians. Legendary world stars have been swearing by the instruments from American high-end manufacturers for decades, and model names such as Balladeer, Legend and Elite still contribute significantly to the level of awareness of the Ovation brand. All of these historical models, with their specific features, are combined in the Pro Series and still form the core range of Ovation Guitars.

Elite Series:

Ovation Elite models are something special, both to the eye and to the ear.
They do without the classic sound hole in the middle of the top in favor of several smaller openings on the edge of the guitar, the so-called multi-soundholes. This special construction has two positive effects: on the one hand, the available vibration area in the middle of the ceiling increases, and on the other hand, the sound emerges much closer to the ear of the person playing.

Visually, the multi-soundholes are a real eye-catcher in themselves. On some models they are additionally decorated with elegant epaulettes. A guaranteed eye-catcher on all stages.

Another benefit for the appealing acoustic sound of these instruments is their high-quality spruce tops made of quality grade A wood.

But what would an Ovation be without the typical electro-acoustic sound via amp or PA?
This is ensured by an OCP1K pickup, which, with its extra-large piezo crystals, absorbs the vibrations not only from the strings, but also from the ceiling.
An OP-Pro preamp is used in this model series for further processing of the signal.

The instruments in the Elite TX series are particularly unique and are, not for nothing, very popular in the rock and metal scene. Especially those who are more used to dealing with electric guitars benefit enormously from features such as the maple neck, which not only stands for a quick response and good sustain, but is also equipped with a flat neck profile for optimal playability.

As a further plus, all TX models have a beautiful, genre-appropriate black textured finish.
