OVATION 2778 AX STANDARD ELITE    The Standard Elite 2778AX is quality throughout.  It features a hand-selected, deluxe AA solid-spruce top with scalloped bracing, and Ovation's Contour Bowl composite body, which maximizes acoustic output and is ergonomically designed for playing comfort in any position.  Ovation's pioneering multi-soundhole design enhances string vibration and sustain by improving soundboard efficiency.  The guitar's upper-bout soundholes are inlaid with exotic hardwoods, and the cutaway offers full access to the satin finished, 5 piece mahogany/maple neck.  The Standard Elite's Op-Pro preamp and OCP-1K pickup produce uncompromising plugged-in performance. The Op-Pro pickup was designed in collaboration with jazz guitarist Al Di Meola and acoustic rocker Melissa Etheridge.  It combines state-of-the-art audio quality with exclusive features designed to meet the needs of professional musicians.  The easy-to-operate unit offers 3-band EQ, a preset tone enhancement circuit, a battery status light, and a chromatic tuner.  The Op-Pro will please even the most discriminating player. This is a guitar that was designed for professionals, but the price I can offer it at makes it a great selection for the hobbyist or amateur player as well.  This is a guitar that you will want to keep for years to come.
