The Ovation Celebrity Standard Exotic Mid-depth Acoustic-electric Guitar is loaded with Ovation’s legendary amplified presentation and comfortable design. The Celebrity Standard features a mid-depth Lyrachord acoustic body with an exotic quilted maple top. This tonewood pairing delivers clear highs, focused lows, and a balanced response, along with phenomenal volume and projection. A CP-100 pickup provides stellar amplified tone, and a 3-band EQ with Volume/Gain control gives you many tone-shaping options. The mahogany neck with ovangkol fingerboard also provides wonderful feel and an intuitive response to both flatpicking and fingerpicking styles.
Comfort and wonderful tone
The mid-depth Lyrachord body on the Ovation Celebrity Standard provides the perfect balance of size and ergonomic comfort. Like all Ovation guitars, the back features a contoured, bowl-shaped design that rests comfortably against your body whether you are standing or sitting. This innovative design capitalizes on comfort while not sacrificing tone or volume. Strum the Ovation Celebrity and hear the full, rich tone and big volume. And with the onboard CP-100 pickup and 3-band EQ, that big volume and rich tone can really take flight as you dial it in to your liking. There’s even an onboard tuner, ensuring you’ll stay in tune while performing. The Ovation body design and the CP-100 pickup are a favorite combo among the many guitarists.
Ovation Guitar Company — a brief history
Founded by Charles Kaman in 1965, the Ovation Guitar Company is known for producing instruments with composite synthetic bowls rather than conventional wood backs and sides. An aeronautical engineer by trade, Charles felt that there were weaknesses in traditional acoustic guitar designs, and that some of the composite materials he used to build helicopters could be used to control the instruments’ vibrations. By utilizing the distinctive parabolic bowl that Ovation guitars have since become known for, Charles found that he could drastically reduce feedback, allowing for greater amplification onstage. Since the development of onboard electronics, Ovation guitars have become one of the most popular brands of acoustic-electrics in the world, endorsed by such artists as Glen Campbell, Nancy Wilson, Steve Lukather, Al Di Meola, and Melissa Etheridge.
