An accessible nylon-string classical with Ovation's signature soundholes and cutaway design.
The Ovation Celebrity Series Elite nylon-string guitar provides an affordable entry into the renowned sound and playability of the innovative Ovation roundback body shape. This mid-depth cutaway model features a solid cedar top with quartersawn fan braces that generate a warm, balanced tone with clear highs and focused bass. The Lyrachord composite body is lightweight yet durable, with a smooth bowl shape that conforms to your torso for comfort.
Premium Woods and Electronics for Robust Tone
The solid cedar top of the Celebrity Series Elite resonates freely, producing a dynamic range of tone with shimmering highs and resonant lows. The unique multi-soundhole design enhances the guitar's projection and tonal clarity. The ovangkol fingerboard and bridge provide a smooth playing feel and visual warmth. Ovation's OP4BT preamp gives you control over the onboard Ovation Slimline pickup, with EQ adjustment and an onboard tuner for convenience.
Roundback Design for Ergonomic Playability
Ovation's iconic roundback body shape places the thickest part of the guitar's bowl behind the bridge, freeing up the upper bout for easy access to higher frets. The Lyrachord composite construction makes this a lightweight, durable guitar that balances perfectly on your knee or strap. A cutaway provides further access to upper frets for soloing. The mid-depth bowl offers a blend of comfort and projection.
OP4BT Preamp Provides Versatile Tone Control
With the OP4BT preamp system featuring a tuner and 3-band EQ, you have complete control over your amplified tone. Adjust the bass, midrange and treble to cut through the mix, reduce feedback or fine-tune your sound for recording. The preamp's onboard tuner also makes it easy to keep your CE44C-4A-G Celebrity Series Elite in tune for optimal sound. Whether on stage or in the studio, the OP4BT preamp gives you the flexibility to shape your tone to suit any musical situation.
Premium Appointments and Hardware
With ivory-colored body binding, multi-ply top purfling, and an ovangkol bridge and fingerboard, the Celebrity Series Elite has an elegant appeal at its price. Open-gear Ovation tuners provide smooth, accurate tuning. A satin natural finish lets the beautiful wood figure shine through. For nylon-string tone and Ovation playability at an affordable price, the Celebrity Series Elite is an ideal choice.
