An accessible ovation original with signature sound and comfort.
The Ovation CE44P Celebrity Series Elite Plus mid-depth acoustic-electric guitar offers you a high-quality instrument with a resonant tone and sleek aesthetic appeal. With a quilt maple top, ovangkol bridge, and fingerboard and abalone dot inlays, this guitar provides visual flair to match its acoustic prowess. The mid-depth Lyrachord body generates a full, balanced tone with impressive projection so you can captivate any audience. For plugged-in performance, the OP-4CT preamp with tuner gives you complete control over your amplified sound.
Vibrant Tonewood Top
The CE44P Celebrity Series Elite Plus features a solid spruce top selected for its vibrant tone and quick response. The wood's tight, straight grain produces crisp treble notes and focused midrange. Paired with the Lyrachord body, you'll experience full, balanced acoustic sound ideal for soloing or ensemble playing.
Mid-Depth Body Delivers Full, Nuanced Sound
The Lyrachord mid-depth body pumps out a robust, balanced tone with clear highs, tight lows and a focused midrange. Its rounded back increases surface area for sound projection so you can fill a room without plugging in. Scalloped X-bracing provides structural support while allowing the top to vibrate freely. With its blend of warmth, clarity and volume, this body style suits a wide range of musical styles. The soundhole rosette and wood epaulets are stylish finishing touches.
Preamp Provides Complete Tonal Control
When plugging in, the OP-4CT preamp with tuner puts you in full command of your amplified sound. It features bass, mid and treble tone controls for dialing in the perfect EQ. A tuner ensures you're always in tune. Phase and contour switches alter the preamp's tonal characteristics to suit different styles. An onboard mixer blends the piezo pickup signal with an external sound source. With this preamp, you have all the tools to shape a sound all your own.
Crafted for Performance and Practice
Die-cast tuners keep the CE44P reliably in tune through long practice sessions, rehearsals and performances. Its nato neck and ovangkol bridge and fingerboard are built to withstand changes in temperature and humidity. Binding around the body and soundhole, along with wood epaulets, give this guitar an upscale look that belies its budget-friendly price. For iconic Ovation tone and playability at an affordable price, the CE44P is hard to beat.
