Acoustic rock legend Melissa Etheridge collaborated with the Ovation/Adamas R&D team to design this extraordinary 6-stringed signature instrument. Representing the ultimate craftsmanship from Ovation’s flagship workshop in New Hartford, Connecticut, the Melissa Etheridge Signature 6-string features a solid spruce top soundboard with X-bracing and a contoured composite body. Other features include an ebony fretboard and bridge, bass-side sound ports with white pearloid epaulets, and a custom “ME” mother-of-pearl symbol on the peg head face. The Melissa Etheridge Signature model comes with Ovation’s original high-output pickup, and its OP-Pro Studio preamp connects to virtually any sound system, stage amp, or recording console.
