With the Ovation 2715LTD-VIP Europe Special Folklore 12-String , the American pioneer of electro acoustic guitars revives the popular Folklore design with 12 strings in a modernised form. For a particularly lively and full sound, Ovation relies on a solid top made of torrefied spruce and a deep-contour lyrachord GS body with neck transition at the 12th fret . Thanks to the cutaway , the five-piece mahogany-maple neck can be played easily up to the highest positions of the ebony fingerboard . Naturally the Ovation 2715LTD-VIP Europe Special Folklore comes with a fully stage-ready pickup system that delivers a multi-faceted sound spectrum with natural dynamics thanks to the Ovation VIP-5 preamp with Virtual Image Processing . The Embergher-style window headstock features traditional open-gear tuners for precise and stable tuning.
The centrepiece of the Ovation 2715LTD-VIP Europe Special Folklore is obviously the deep contour body made of Lyrachord GS , which thanks to its generous contours fits comfortably to the body. In combination with the solid top made of torrefied Sitka spruce , the lyrachord body also promises a surprisingly loud and dynamic sound, which expressively implements finger-picking and chord strumming with tight basses, detailed mids and highs rich in overtones.
The innovative Ovation VIP pickup system , which consists of the OCP-1K pickup under the saddle and the active preamp in the frame, makes the Ovation 2715LTD-VIP Europe Special the perfect choice for amplified stage use or recording studio sessions. The pickup system convinces with a particularly natural and detailed output. Virtual Image Processing also allows images of the most popular Ovation sounds to be mixed in, so that in conjunction with the 3-band EQ , the tone can be precisely adjusted.
