 Excellent Guitar For The MoneySep 09, 2010
By Ernie
Ovations - either you love them or hate them.
I happen to have been in lust for one since the early 1970s. When I finally decided to begin looking for one, I was surprised to find the Celebrity line. Inexpensive Chinese builds, they are Ovations 100%. The tone, the feel, the appointments.
You can see where cost cutting took place - the material used in the bracing structure, even the "multi piece exotic hardwood rosette" feels relatively cheap.
Laminate spruce top...sure looks like a maple cap.
Very typical Ovation neck - which is to say, fast. Frets are well set, the undercut is evident under the binding.
One of the abalone fret markers is the exact same color as the portion of the fretboard it occupies...and so is invisible. There are numerous pin marks from the manufacturing process on the back of the neck, I would assume marks from hanging.There is a small gap as the binding transitions from the body to the neck.
The pre-amp OP4B is serviceable - a three band EQ and a built in tuner, but nothing special as far as bells and whistles. As far as delivering tone - in spades (with the EQ left neutral).
The tone is Ovation. It is so distinct and easily recognized. The action is adjustable? Yeah, remove the strings and carefully lift the bridge and there are shims underneath/inside. By adding or removing shims the end user can adjust the action, which as far as I know is very unusual for acoustics. Just one innovation among the many Ovations brings to the table.
The guitar just rings. When I go shopping, for an acoustic, I will just strum the guitars as they hang from the wall, listening to the tone. Things such as the action can be addressed later but tone is set in stone - so to speak.
This thing fairly warbles in my ear.
They portray it as a starter guitar and because of the inexpensive nature, I'd agree, but for sound quality it is incredibly difficult to tell it apart from a more expensive brother.

I didn't buy my Ovation from Amazon, but I LOVE mine! I am not a really great guitar player, but it fulfills my every need. The sound quality is incredible, both plugged into an amp and not. The built in tuner makes it really handy and I don't have to worry about carrying one around. I love this guitar more than I love my car. It's awesome.
