Description
The Ovation 1868TX-5 belongs to the Modern TX Collection, a lineup designed around one idea: acoustic guitars should feel as quick and effortless as electrics without sacrificing the tone players expect from a solid-top instrument. That mission starts with the hard rock maple neck, which adds snap and sustain while giving your hand a slim, speedy profile to move around on. Paired with a wenge fretboard and a 25.3″ scale, chords and leads alike come through with clarity.
Under your arm, the super shallow Lyrachord body keeps things light and easy to hold for long sets, while its textured finish resists slipping during sweatier gigs. A deluxe AA solid spruce top sits above Ovation’s signature scalloped X bracing, and the Elite Multi-Port soundhole design opens up the voicing for a livelier, more resonant acoustic tone than the shallow body might suggest.
Plugged in, the OP-Pro preamp works alongside the OCP1K pickup to deliver a strong, dependable signal at the board, so you’re not left compensating for a weak acoustic-electric mix on stage. Finished in black with no binding or inlays for a clean, modern look, the guitar rounds out with Ovation die-cast sealed tuning machines, a walnut bridge, and an ABS nut for reliable tuning stability.
