Ovation Elite TX D-Scale

From Our Research Team:

Fresh Low Sound, Comfortable Feel

Alternate tuning gives you thick, rich guitar tones! Pick up the Ovation Elite TX D-Scale acoustic-electric guitar, and get ready to hear music in a fresh way. This great-looking Ovation roundback instrument is tuned a full step below standard. That means, you can put a capo on the 2nd fret and go on and play it as you would any acoustic. But, take the capo off, and you have access to frets and powerful low tones you never could access before - unless you risked your guitar's setup or enduring floppy-string fret buzz by tuning down yourself.



The Ovation Elite TX D-Scale acoustic-electric guitar gives you a sound that's akin to today's popular baritone guitars. And since it has an extended scale length (28-1/3"), you'll enjoy that voicing while retaining the playing ease you love about your favorite 6-string acoustic. But, just because the Ovation Elite TX D-Scale is particularly special by design, it doesn't mean Ovation skimped on the tonal goods. This slick-looking guitar features a A-grade solid spruce top, scalloped "X" bracing for sustain and power, multiple sound holes, a rock maple neck, and a comfortable natural satin neck finish. There's even an Ovation OP Pro preamp and an OCP-1K pickup to get those rich tones when you're plugged in and performing onstage. Great guitar!

Everything was exactly as promised. I was impressed with the phone call I received from your guy when I had just placed the order. He was very thorough and professional in every way. I love my new digital piano. Your wide selection and excellent service as well as your "3 Payment Plan" and the 2 year warranty sealed the deal for me on this purchase. No one else could come close.

I lusted after Ovation's more expensive baritone offering for years but just couldn't justify the cost -- when this more budget-friendly version came along, I went for it. I'm glad I did. It's not as ... read more [+]pretty but it sounds great.

Yes, you can play this Ovation in D, should you desire, but it has a true baritone scale so it can be tuned down to B or even A, with the appropriate strings. And it sounds good down there, just enough brightness and snap to make those low notes sparkle a bit,. Sounds fine played finger-style...so who needs a bass? close [-]

The D-Scale provides new song options.

by from Knoxville, TN
June 27, 2012
Music Background: I have been mostly playing at home for my own entertainment for 50 years now.
I ordered the Ovation D-Scale because I have a limited vocal range, and I thought the D-Scale would expand my selections of songs (rather than transposing keys or tuning a standard guitar down to 'D')... read more [+]. I did not have an opportunity to play the guitar before purchasing it, so when I received it, i found the string guage and tension to be greater than any of my other guitars. This isn't a real problem, and I am trying to grow into the strings. (Ovation recommends not going to strings that are significantly lighter.)
Bottom line,the guitar has proven to be exactly what I was looking for and has a great sound; it's a keeper. close [-]
