The Ovation C2078 LX Custom Elite represents the top-of-the-line for USA made Ovations. The finest AAA spruce top, inlaid epaulettes, top grade ebony fingerboard, deep contour bowl, and more than 300 individual hand placed pieces of abalone line the binding. This has the OP-Pro Studio preamp, my personal favorite Ovation preamp with exciter and compressor/limiter circuitry.
