Ovation Elite Plus Contour - Koa

A Louder, Lighter, and Richer Ovation Elite

This addition to the Elite series, the Ovation Elite Plus Contour, boasts several upgrades over the original. For starters, the AAA solid spruce top with hand-selected exotic veneer looks and sounds better than ever. Next, the signature rounded composite body and upgraded 5-piece mahogany/maple neck are lighter, richer, and more natural for a playing experience even more acoustic players will appreciate. Finally, the onboard Op-Pro Studio preamp features an onboard compressor in addition to its EQ section and tuner to smooth out chords, fingerpicked parts, and leads straight from the stage or direct into a recording medium.

The Elite Plus Contour's solid spruce top provides excellent projection, balance, and focus to Ovation's upgraded Lyrachord body. And for a bold look that'll capture an audience's attention, a hand-selected exotic wood veneer gives the Elite Plus Contour the look of a custom instrument.

Ovation's lightweight Lyrachord composite body now provides a richer and more dynamic playing response acoustically or plugged in. A comfortable curve keeps the Elite Plus Contour from digging into the player's body during performances, and a cutaway provides easy access to higher frets for solos and lead work.

The Elite Plus Contour's Op-Pro Studio preamp now includes an onboard compressor to smooth out playing dynamics. This helps to tame distracting jumps in level when plugged in direct. A three-band EQ section with mid-dip switch lets you sculpt a tone that's perfectly tailored to your voice or ensemble, and an onboard tuner will keep you in tune between songs. For a gutsy-sounding direct tone that gives you full tonal control of your guitar from the stage, Sweetwater guitarists recommend checking out the Ovation Elite Plus Contour.
