Ovation CE778 Ovation CE778 Description: This is Ovation guitarmaking passion unbridled. Wrap yourself around one and strum a single chord. Feel your insides rumble. How'd we do that? Charlie Kaman's innovative multi-soundhole design. The finest AAA Sitka spruce. The roundback body. Then dressed to kill with hand-inlaid abalone trim. The Maximum Ovation. Abalone Artistry Over 300 individual pieces of abalone shell are hand-inlaid into each Custom Elite and Custom Legend, a stunning appearance in any finish. The Custom Legend rosette is also abalone shell in the Ovation oak leaf pattern. Both rank with the finest custom made instruments as examples of pure guitarmaking art. The Ultimate Spruce Soundboard These AAA-graded tops are the most flexible and consistent Sitka spruce tops available. Only 5% of all our graded tops are chosen for these fine instruments. Notice that the Custom Legend A-shaped bracing and the Quintad pattern used on the Custom Elite are primarily longitudinal, giving the top greater freedom of vibration. The result is a guitar that can pump out a tremendously broad and powerful sound. 5-Piece Speed and Beauty The 5-piece mahogany and maple neck is contoured to a "soft-V", the most ergonomic of neck shapes. The bound ebony fingerboard is decorated with abalone inlays and fitted with nickel silver frets. Each of the frets is crowned, dressed and polished by hand, then the fingerboard and neck are finished with Danish oil. OP50 preamp The ultra-quiet OP50 preamp has four precise bands of eq (at 87Hz, 580Hz, 6.7kHz and 12kHz) that let you easily shape your tone for any venue. It features a Lo-Z balanced XLR output in addition to the 1/4" Hi-Z output, eliminating the need for a direct box. The on-board digital chromatic tuner provides instant reference, even for open or non-standard tunings.
