If you've always wanted to experience the unique design, tone, and playability Ovation offers, the Celebrity Elite CE48P-KOAB acoustic-electric guitar is a wonderful option. The Celebrity Elite combines a super shallow Lyrachord body design with a stunning koa top for comfortable play and stellar tone. Koa has won over legions of players as a tonewood that delivers an incredibly dynamic sonic signature steeped in rich low end and a balanced midrange. A mahogany neck with an ovangkol fingerboard provides impeccable response and playability, and the deep cutaway gives you access to those higher notes up the neck. When you plug in, an Ovation Slimline pickup and OP-4CT preamp system with 3-band EQ kicks out gorgeous amplified tone.

One-of-a-kind feel and tone





The super shallow depth of the Celebrity Elite translates to an incredibly comfortable playing experience whether you stand or sit. And the contoured back of the Lyrachord design also ensures that this beauty never feels anything less than stellar strapped over your shoulder or resting in your lap. The Lyrachord body is a durable, lightweight alternative to wood backs, and it has a smooth interior surface that is specifically designed to enhance the reflections inside your instrument as well. And the traditional laser-cut epaulets on the koa top add to the unique appearance and sonically provide remarkable note clarity.

Onboard OP-4CT preamp





Ovation wrote the book on live acoustic guitar. They were the first company to introduce pickups and preamplifiers in the acoustic guitar, essentially inventing a new instrument. The Ovation Celebrity Elite is equipped with an OP-4CT preamp that has /- 12dB control over the bass, midrange, and treble frequencies. In addition, the onboard tuner makes it easy to stay in tune. Ask any guitarist here at Sweetwater: the OP-4CT gives you the tonal control you need onstage.
