Ovation Elite 1778TX-5 Mid Bowl Acoustic Electric Guitar

The Ovation Elite TX from the Mod TX Collection is purpose-built for the stage, delivering high-performance features and bold aesthetics for modern acoustic players. With a solid AA Sitka spruce top and Ovation’s scalloped X-bracing, this guitar projects with power and balance, while the signature multi-port soundholes reduce feedback and enhance tonal clarity. The deep-contour Lyrachord® body ensures long-lasting playing comfort, adding warmth and punch to the low end.

A rock maple neck and Pau Ferro fretboard offer fast, responsive playability that electric players will find familiar and satisfying. The OP-Pro preamp and OCP1K pickup combo provides studio-grade sound with versatile tone shaping controls, ensuring consistent clarity in live or recording environments. Finished in a rugged black textured top with matching die-cast tuners, the Elite TX is a sleek, road-ready workhorse for serious performers.
