An outstanding instrument with lushious woods, exquisite details and sophisticated electronics.
Ovation is proud to introduce a 30-instrument limited edition run of the 1798 Figured Koa Elite—a gorgeous new koa-topped take on traditional Ovation design. Its clean lines and striking 5A flame koa top impart a clean, focused sound, with a larger bass side oval sound hole for great low-end projection.
Other premium features include a deep cutaway round-back Lyrachord body with convenient Venetian cutaway, “T”-shaped Quintad spruce bracing, elegant tortoiseshell rosette and tortoiseshell body binding with multi-stripe purfling, soft “V”-shaped mahogany neck with bone nut and dual action truss rod, 22-fret ebony fingerboard with 10” radius and 12th-fret oval koa inlay, rear-loading ebony bridge with compensated saddle, gold Schaller tuners, and Ovation OCP1-K pickup and OP-PRO preamp system for superior amplified tone and power.
Deep Bowl
Ovation’s Deep Bowl body generates maximum unamplified volume and enormous low end, yet it’s easier to hold and play then a traditional jumbo-body guitar. Models sporting Deep Bowl bodies also perform impressively when plugged in, thanks to Ovation’s advanced onboard electronics. A “sonic cannon” that shines either unplugged or through a sound system or stage amp, a Deep Bowl Ovation offers the best of both electric and acoustic worlds.
OP-Pro Studio with XLR
The OP-Pro Studio with XLR combines state-of-the-art audio quality with exclusive features designed to meet the needs of professional guitarists. The easy-to-operate unit offers 3-band EQ, exciter and compressor/limiter circuitry, and a chromatic tuner. Ovation’s exclusive Expressor and Drive sliders put dynamic control and harmonic enhancement at your fingertips, allowing you to precisely dial in the sustain and punch you need. The XLR jack provides a balanced line connection to mixers, recording consoles, and high-end acoustic amps. It also provides phantom power to the OP-Pro—an essential feature for touring professionals.
