Ovation

Ovation's shallow body gets maximum projection.

The Ovation Celebrity SS acoustic-electric guitar features A-shaped bracing that was perfected over the last few years through a computer modeling process, a technology that was once only available in more expensive instruments. The Ovation acoustic guitar starts with a beautiful top, offering a stunning appearance and balanced tone. The super shallow body design is surprisingly full, thanks to its materials and design, creating big sound from a small package. Its soft-V neck shape, 25-1/4" scale, 10" radius, and 1-11/16" nut width add comfort and playability for your fret hand. The nato neck, rosewood bridge and fretboard adds clear, lasting sustain to the guitar's sound. The OP4BT preamp offers +/-12 dB control over the bass, midrange, and treble frequencies for great tonal flexibility. It's on-board tuner is easy to use and helps you stay perfectly in-tune, even when using open or non-standard tunings. Gold tuners and hardware round out the Ovation Celebrity SS guitar and add a subtle shine to the instrument.

The Ovation sound

The sound that made the acoustic guitar a viable electric instrument is now within everyone's reach. Built by Ovation's Pacific-based subsidiary, it benefits from the same USA-made Lyrachord body as its more upscale American brothers. After much analysis and experimentation, Ovation's parabolic "bowl" shape proved to give the best projection, volume and tone. Thanks to extremely sophisticated equipment and aerospace research resources, Ovation has been able to determine precisely which specifications affect which part of the guitar's tonal spectrum. Today, more than 95% of all Ovation guitars sold around the world are acoustic-electrics, offering systems to suit almost any particular taste and application.

Well-Built, Good Action, and Nice Price

| Review By: Mervyn Tano | 1 month, 1 week ago

0 people out of 0 found this review helpful

Features:

Love the on-board electronic tuner and readily accessible battery compartment.

Quality:

No obvious construction defects; very attractive finish; sounds good acoustically; sounds even better plugged into my Acoustic amp.

Value:

Quality to cost ratio seems outstanding.

Overall:

I've just started playing again. My fingers are not of the long, slender variety. These two factors make the Celebrity SS Super Shallow Contour Acoustic-Electric Guitar an excellent choice for me.

My New Ovation Celebrity!

| Review By: Joseph Allen | 4 months, 3 weeks ago

0 people out of 0 found this review helpful

Features:

I have waited years to get this guitar. I have played dozens of acoustic guitars over the past few years. After buying a beautiful Epiphone Dreadnaught over 10 years ago, I thought it was time for an Acoustic- Electric. I have admired many players of Ovation products...Glen Campbell, Eddie Rabbitt and Roy Clark, just to name a few. Started my search for an Ovation a year or so ago, never found the right deal till now, at Musicians Friend. I originally ordered a Condition 2 instrument, but was disappointed when it arrived with a major defect. My New Ovation Celebrity arrived a few days later in acceptable condition. It is a fine instrument in feel, looks, playability, and most of all...sound. A great guitar for all styles. I am very satisfied with my choice and with the service of Musicians Friend. Thanks to everyone at your company!

Quality:

Clean assembly, nice finish, nice features. 3 band EQ, built in tuner...all you can ask for in a reasonably priced instrument. Intonation and action are great.

Value:

Quality found in higher priced guitars, for a fraction of the cost.

Overall:

Just great, thanks!

Fast neck on this one

Overall:
     Have had a ovation applause around for 5 years and after setting it up considered it a good guitar with good electronics. The celebrity ss caught my eye and was supposed to be a step up.Well it is. They may look similar,but the ss is easier to play and the neck is faster than the applause ,this really surprised me .So overall I am happy with it.Very pretty ruby red ,great electronics and the built in tuner is a big plus.The guitar was set up very well at the factory with instructions to remove shims under the bridge if a closer fit on string height is desired.I do alot of classical finger picking to bangin out some doobies songs on it..I think the machine heads are very nice as the guitar stays in tune pretty good and cosmetically very nice.A beginner would probably like this guitar too because the strings are right distance from the neck and the thin neck makes it easy to reach and play to.I have been playing 40 years.

I bought this guitar and was so glad to get it. The reason i bought ovation is because they feel more like electric guitars and they're very comfortable. This guitar sounds great and looks great (especially in ruby red, it looks better in person) If you are looking for an acoustic guitar, and you dont want to spend a lot of money then dont hesitate to buy this!

Can't put it down

Overall:
I went to the local music shop and played every acoustic electric guitar(about 75) that they had.  It came down to this in black and this in honey burst as the 2 best players in the house.  Ive never owned an Ovation before and Im sorry for that.  This thing plays so sweet and the sound is amazingly rich.  The action is fantastic and fast, NO fret buzz under any use, and so smooth.  For what this costs, and what you get, I would recommend this as a must buy.  And the onboard tuner, pshhhh, I can't believe they threw that in too for that price.  You don't have to hesitate on this one, it's a winner *****
