OVATION EXPANDS HYBRID VXT OFFERING FOR 2008
Ovation is pleased to expand its hybrid VXT offering with new finishes, exotic tops and a lower priced model.
The VXT was introduced in May 2007 as one model available in a Sunburst and Black finish options. For January 2008, in addition to its Black and Sunburst predecessors, VXT models will now be available in Cherry Trans and Cinnamon Burst finishes. Retail: $2599
Deluxe VXT models featuring new exotic Flame Maple tops will also be added to the 2008 line up. Deluxe VXTs will be available in 59 Burst and Brown Sugar Flame finishes. Retail: $2699
Ovation will also be introducing a lower priced VXT in two new finish options. The VXT Standard is based on Ovation’s popular Elite T guitar and features a maple neck, one-piece poplar body, textured body finishes, Seymour Duncan P90 pickups, and, like the original VXT, VIP microphone imaging technology that controls the acoustic output. Available in Black and Titanium Silver finishes. Retail: $2199
Ovation’s VXT allows you to pan from sweet acoustic finger style to hard driving power chords with just the turn of a knob. Discover a near infinite range of exciting new sounds by combining electric and acoustic tones in amounts that suit your own style.
Two Seymour Duncan ’59 Humbucking pickups supply plenty of electric power while Ovation’s VIP (Virtual Image Processing) preamp provides a natural, studio quality acoustic sound. A chambered mahogany body creates a rich depth for both the electric and acoustic modes, without a trace of feedback even at high stage volumes.
