Elite's and A's have the "A"-brace... My guess would be, if you ordered a LX it would be "X"-braced....

I guess the A-brace can be adapted around the bridge relocation. Ovation is probably one of the few to make a multi-hole Baritone.

Do they do X bracing on those? I dunno. I would suspect some modified A brace pattern.

I wonder if they are still set up to do that, or would it even matter?..
