A 6-string with Elite Playability
Ovation has been stunning in style and sonics since the mid-’60s, and this enviable USA Elite Deep Cutaway E-Acoustic guitar here at Sweetwater follows suit with vigor. This 6-string boasts Ovation’s iconic composite Lyrachord deep cutaway body and comes topped in solid AA spruce, exuding a resonant yet brightly articulate musicality that sounds lovely in any acoustic space and absolutely inspires when plugged in through its OP Pro preamp system. A 5-piece neck of mahogany, walnut, and maple comes carved to a soft V profile for a flawlessly manageable feel as your fingers peruse its 22-fret walnut fingerboard. Its “Elite” distinction offers a quintad bracing pattern internally with beautiful Elite epaulets across the top. Its other charming features are a matching walnut bridge and headstock veneer, a natural bone nut, and ultra-precise Gotoh tuners. Calling all songwriters, stage regulars, and session players!

Naturally unique Ovation sonics
Despite its unconventional shape, the composite Lyrachord deep cutaway body of the USA Elite E-Acoustic produces a sweetly distinct sound that’s kept players coming back to it for over half a century. Lovingly referred to as a “roundback,” it offers superb acoustic amplification and a boost in natural resonance. Contrasting this energy perfectly is a solid top of AA spruce, which helps showcase more brilliance and articulation for a well-rounded sound suitable for just about any setting. From DI recordings and dedicated acoustic amplifiers to the simple pleasures of traditional acoustic play, you’ll love every note.
A fine feel for all players
Another time-tested appointment from Ovation’s storied past is its 5-piece neck design, merging the properties of mahogany, walnut, and maple for an incredibly stable foundation with excellent organic note sustain. Factor in walnut’s dark, natural timbre, and every element of your playing, from chords to lead lines, will be delivered with beautifully rich integrity. Plus, a soft V neck profile slightly narrows the grip for your chording hand, promoting a more commanding feel and comfortable access to virtually every note of the piece at hand.
Champion plugged-in tones
If there’s one thing Ovation is as equally well known for as its unique body engineering, it’s the sound you get when you plug in. Its Lyrachord bowl construction works magnificently with an OCP pickup and the OP Pro preamp, harnessing every acoustic sound with incredible balance and vividity in translation. Track your tunes in the studio, and you’ll see what we mean. Aiding this top-notch performance are helpful appointments to ensure that you sound your best at all times, including a Master Volume control, a graphic EQ, and a tuner.
