Preferred by many stage performers and acoustic guitarists who rely on amplification, Ovation’s Super-Shallow composite body feels similar to an electric, yet it retains all the benefits and acoustic properties of our proven roundback design. A deluxe AA solid-spruce top and Ovation’s legendary lightweight, yet high-strength bracing give this guitar tremendous sonic power. An ultra-thin textured enamel black finish allows the soundboard to resonate freely, and soundports on the bass-string side of Ovation’s classic Mid-Depth cutaway composite body enhance lower-frequency projection. Shaped to offer the fast feel of an electric guitar, the slim, hard-rock maple neck delivers superior sustain, while the OP-Pro preamp and OCP-1K pickup produce uncompromising plugged-in performance.
