Stunning Cedar Top Classical Ovation

The Ovation Celebrity Standard Classical 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 a solid cedar top. This tonewood delivers a warm sound, a heavy attack, and beautiful harmonics, along with phenomenal volume and projection. A CT600A 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 without sacrificing tone or volume. Strum the Ovation Celebrity and hear the full, rich tone and big volume. And with the onboard CT600A 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 CT600A pickup are a favorite combo among the many guitarists here at Sweetwater.

Ovation: a history of innovation

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 has 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 has 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.
