An Ovation Acoustic-electric Built to Melissa's Specs
Ovation pulled out all the stops in sitting down to design a signature instrument with acoustic rock legend Melissa Etheridge. The Melissa Etheridge Signature acoustic-electric guitar features a AA solid spruce top for enhanced sustain for leading or chording, a comfortable Mid-depth Lyrachord composite body with X-bracing for a big, full-range sound unplugged or direct, and a durable five-piece mahogany/maple neck with a responsive ebony fretboard. Melissa's personal touches include white pearloid soundhole epaulets and a signature "ME" Venus 12th-fret inlay. The onboard Ovation OCP-1K pickup and Op-Pro Studio preamp give this guitar a natural and dynamic direct tone, and the powerful EQ section lets players take control of their tone straight from the stage.

The Melissa Etheridge Signature's solid spruce top brings excellent projection, balance, and focus to Ovation's Mid-depth Lyrachord body, which is built from a tough composite to resist warping and cracking. Melissa's choice of a white top and white pearloid soundhole epaulets give this guitar a stage look that's as bold as its sound.
Lyrachord composite body is richer and lighter than everOvation's lightweight Lyrachord composite body now provides a richer and more dynamic playing response acoustically or plugged in. A comfortable curve keeps the Melissa Etheridge Signature from digging into the player's body during performances, and a cutaway provides easy access to higher frets for solos and lead work.
