An Elegant Classical from Ovation
The CE44C-4A combines the quality and reliability of Ovation’s nylon-guitar lineup with the elegance and comfort of the Celebrity Elite design. Boasting Ovation’s proprietary and harmonic Lyrachord body, the Celebrity Elite classical features a solid cedar top characterized by its lighter touch and warmer tone, perfectly complementing its nylon, fingerstyle playability. True to its Elite brethren, this classical guitar sports the Ovation-unique sound hole design, elevated and closer to the neck to provide you tremendous resonance while you play without sacrificing projection quality for your audience. And with premium ovation electronics, EQ controls, and a built-in tuner, you’ll find the Celebrity Elite classical just as useful for live performances as it is at home or in the studio. For these reasons and more, classical guitarists here at Sweetwater are hooked on the Celebrity Elite mid-depth classical guitar!

Designed for tonal superiority
The mid-depth Lyrachord back and sides of the Celebrity Elite classical are a trademark of all Ovations, and everyone who’s played one can attest to its benefits. You just can’t get the harmonics and tonal clarity of an Ovation with a standard construction guitar. And once you factor in the chosen wood pairing specific to the exact function of the guitar, you can’t help but smile. The solid cedar top is sonically beautiful, exuding a light and agile touch that even the most particular classical players will appreciate. Its mahogany neck houses an ovangkol fingerboard, providing an ultra-responsive playing surface with 23 frets for easy creative venturing.
Powered by Ovation’s OP-4CT preamp
A devoted OP-4CT preamp system powers an Ovation CP100 Slimline pickup that delivers your classical playing with stunning clarity and presence. The resonance of the Lyrachord body really shines when this guitar is plugged in, seamlessly delivering all of the brights and darks you ask of it. The Celebrity Elite classical also comes with some handy built-in controls, like a 3-band EQ, gain control, tuner, and a low-battery light, positioning all of your resources right where you need them once you plug in.
Outfitted with top-notch hardware
The Ovation Celebrity Elite classical is as inspiring as it is functional. Open-gear/side-mount tuners line the vintage-inspired headstock while an ovangkol pinless bridge aids in providing solid intonation throughout each performance.
