Ovation CE44-RRB Celebrity Elite, Reversed Red Burst Overview

Ovation Celebrity Elite CE44-RRB, Reversed Red Burst

The Celebrity Elite series is your first step into the world of Ovation's classic multi-soundhole
instrument design, with first-rate sound, style, features and value.

The Celebrity Elite CE44-5 guitar has the classic mid-depth Lyrachord® cutaway body with a solid spruce top featuring the Elite multi soundhole design, which provides clear highs and focused, balanced bass response. For the top's quartersawn scalloped "X" bracing, we reviewed earlier Ovation bracing patterns extensively and arrived at a remarkable new design that borrows from the past and is voiced for the present, with natural tone and optimal response and power. Together, body, top and soundholes create the classic Ovation Elite
sound, resonating with full projection, remarkable note clarity and balance, and nuanced tonal complexity. The top also has elegant multi-wood epaulets, black binding and a beautiful gloss black finish.

Other premium features include an effortlessly playable satin-finish neck, 10"-radius rosewood fretboard with 20 fully accessible frets (24 frets for high E string) and pearloid inlays, and a rosewood bridge. For great live sound, the CE44-4 features an Ovation Slimline pickup and OP-4BT preamp system with three-band EQ, volume/gain control, onboard tuner and low-battery light.

don’t normally write reviews but I felt on this occasion I needed to. My wife bought me a guitar for a birthday gift five weeks before my birthday. When I opened it the guitar was damaged. I contacted GAK who arranged a courier the next day to collect the guitar. Four days later I had my replacement guitar and it was perfect. I can’t fault it. Thank you GAK.

The guitar is reasonable at the price point - well finished, good neck, crisp tone. Tuners seem OK. General consensus among players is that these guitars sound better through an amp than they do unplugged; I don't necessarily agree... . But (as others have pointed out) Ovation's packaging is poor - the guitar sits in a cardboard box for shipping with no shielding against bumps along the way apart from a plastic bag. If you fancy an Ovation at this level, take it from the shop yourself - don't rely on safe shipping!

The best acoustic guitar I've ever played. I changed the string to .10 later on but that's only because of what I play.. the sound is incredible, resonates for unbelievably long given that it doesn't have that hole in the middle (don't know the professional term for that). Also goes wothout saying it is one of the most beautiful guitars ever made. I definitelly recomend it
