Product Description
The USA made Elite T Series is designed as an alternative to the traditional Ovation Elite series. Shedding the classic multi-piece hardwood epaulet sound hold decorations, this new model incorporates a simpler, untrimmed, 11-hole pattern that enhances the low and mid range punch. The rock maple neck profile has also been slimmed down to give it a look and feel more appealing to electric players. An ultra light, yet incredibly durable, textured enamel finish is wrapped around the entire back and top. The Elite T is outfitted with the new Ovation OP-30 preamp featuring 3-band EQ, pre-shape and mid-shift buttons, and a full on-board chromatic tuner.

Unbeatable U.S. made guitar July 12, 2008
I bought this guitar to tinker with. I have owned several acoustic guitars over the years, but none of them ever got much playing time. I have always preferred to play electric. Acoustics are (traditionally) too big, bulky and uncomfortable for me. I own a U.S. Paudak Washburn N4 and a custom U.S. Jackson Soloist SL2H and the 1778 gets as much or more playing time than both of them combined. The neck feels like a cross between an electric and a traditional acoustic. I absolutely love this guitar. The bass is tight and punchy and the highs are bright and true. This is the only acoustic I will ever need.

 nice, good price point April 16, 2008
Kind of a unique look....better check out one locally and be sure you like it before you order. I think it is kind of cool, but might not be for everyone. The finish is kind of textured and very durable. Has a built in tuner with the preamp. The action is low and the neck narrow, almost like an electric. Just plays really nice and sounds good even unplugged. Might be about one of the cheapest USA made ovation that you can find, had for 2 years and has been great for me. Seeing it here for six hundred dollars, no way that I would pass it up for that.
A steal at this price point July 3, 2007
The Martins & Taylors that sound as good as the Elite T are 3 times the price. At This price point this guitar has no equal. It's the best sounding Ovation I've played and one of the least expensive made in America models. The low end punch is greater then most Jumbo guitars, the highs are crisp & clean. Nothing else looks like it. Nothing under a grand sounds like it.
Very Nice!! March 25, 2007
I've had this guitar about a month and it sure plays nice and sounds sweet!!
