Ovation CE44-RR Celebrity Elite, Ruby Red Overview

Ovation Celebrity Elite CE44-RR, Ruby Red

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.

    I have always wanted an Ovation electric acoustic for many years, ever since i had the chance to try one by a friend. When i received the guitar I was not dissapointed.I am very impressed with the pickups on this guitar as i like playing Eagle songs and the sound is perfect for that. I have been a bass guitarist for many years and have now went back to my routes playing guitar .When i got the guitar the action was a little high due to a slight bow,but i sorted this by doing a wee tweek of the kneck,this took 5 mins over a few days.Plays great now,and the finish is top notch. The guitar sitsnice and firm on my knee when i play it,and when i stand up it tilts slightly forward to make it easier to play.It would not replace a Martin or a Gibson but at the price it is a good contender.I have 2 other acoustics ie; yamaha 12 string and an old 43 year old Yasuma but I prefer the Ovation. This is my opinion on this guitar but it might not suit everyone.
