Proprietary Ovation Playability on a 12-string Chassis

Uncompromising utility and exquisite stage potential are front and center with the Ovation Pro Series Elite Tx 12-string. A traditional lyrachord construction and solid Sitka spruce top give this acoustic-electric a rich, sparkling tone with the choral attributes of a true double-string instrument. The Pro Series Elite Tx 12-string sports a mid-depth body style, X-bracing pattern, and multi-hole design, enhancing sonic stability and comfort for the player in any performance space. It's all topped off with an enhanced active electronics system, allowing you to take your new 12-string companion to the stage in full confidence of your tone. Believe us: if you're looking for an acoustic-electric worthy of providing solid tone in any situation, the Ovation Pro Series Elite Tx 12-string should be a serious contender.

Legendary Ovation design in a 12-string form

For Ovation fans, the Pro Series Elite Tx's lyrachord back and sides should come as no surprise. The addition of a solid Sitka spruce top, however, skyrockets this 12-string's tonal capabilities into another stratosphere. With the help of Ovation's X-bracing pattern and a mid-depth body style, the Pro Series Elite Tx channels a broad dynamic range with superb articulation and clarity. Likewise, Ovation's multi-hole design projects a focused bass response with the utmost clarity across the board. Sweetwater guitarists concur: you can expect an authentic Ovation sound from this acoustic — with all the shine a 12-string should have.

Maintain a comfortable performance

There's no denying that the Pro Series Elite Tx is a comfortable guitar, thanks to it's proprietary mid-depth construction. The satin-finished maple neck and wenge fingerboard keep your fret accuracy precise and completely clear of stalled movements. Likewise, Ovation's proprietary lyrachord composite ensures enhanced freedom of movement. Whether you're sitting down or standing up, the Pro Series Elite Tx will accompany your every move in absolute comfort.

Active OCP-1K electronics project stage ready tone

Care to take the Pro Series Elite TX’s 12-string tone to the arena? Onboard active electronics including an Op-Pro preamp and OCP-1K pickup are as close as it gets to authentic string projection, making this 12-string a perfect companion whether you prefer to record DI in the studio or get loud and proud onstage. The Op-Pro also provides tuning, pre-EQ, standard EQ, and gain controls, so you're all set to dial in your output on-site in between songs. Locking down tried-and-true acoustic tone on an amp can be difficult, but the Pro Series Elite TX's electronic performance is proof that Ovation has the process down pat.

Excellently player!

I use this guitar along with my Gibson SJ200 or my Martin D18 at every solo gig I play. I have to say this has a beautiful chimey tone. The electronics are good too. I think the top wood is plywood but not sure. Not to crazy about that if true. I bought my first Ovation 12 in about 1969, not long after they started making them. Wish I had kept it.
Music background: Been performing solo and in bands for 55 years. Still playing out regularly at 71!
