Professional Playability. Striking Good Looks. Pristine Live Sound. The Celebrity Collection Elite is a performance ready guitar. Ovation's unqiue multi-soundhole design provides clear highs and a focused, balanced bass response. The solid spruce top has laser-cut epaulets that set it apart from the crowd, and provide remarkable note clarity. A satin-finished neck, Ovangkol fretboard and bridge all combine to make playing effortless and responsive. The Celebrity Elite was designed with live performance in mind; the Ovation Slimline pickup and OP-4BT preamp system with a three-band EQ, volume/gain control, onboard tuner and low-battery light make it easy to dial in your sound. This is the classic Ovation Elite sound: articulation and balance, projection, and nuanced tonal complexity.

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 CE48-1 guitar has the classic Super Shallow Lyrachord cutaway body with a solid spruce top. This top features the Elite multi-soundhole design, which provides clear highs, focused, and 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, the body, top and sound holes create the classic Ovation Elite sound, resonating with full projection, remarkable note clarity and balance, and nuanced tonal complexity. The top is complete with white binding and a beautiful transparent Sunburst finish. Other premium features include an effortlessly playable satin-finish neck, 10”-radius rosewood fret board with 20 fully accessible frets (24 frets for high E string), Pearloid inlays, and a rosewood bridge. The CE48-1 features an Ovation Slimline pickup and OP-4BT preamp system with three-band EQ, volume/gain control, onboard tuner and low-battery light.
