A Value Roundback with Great Looks and Tone

Soloists and bluegrass pickers can expect a whole lot of guitar at an affordable price from the Ovation CS28P Celebrity Standard Plus. This acoustic-electric's smooth satin neck and deep cutaway give players fast access to all 20 frets for adventurous lead playing and high capo'ing. A spruce top on a comfortable contoured Super Shallow Lyrachord composite body with scalloped X-bracing gives this instrument definition and projection that's hard to find among all-wood acoustics in its price range. A gorgeous figured laminate plus a rosewood bridge, pearloid inlays, and a tasteful soundhole rosette give this guitar a rich stage look. And for stage and studio plugged-in convenience, the CS28P's Slimline pickup and OP-4BT active preamp with onboard EQ deliver a natural sound straight into an amp, soundboard, or recording medium.

Superb value from an affordable Ovation Roundback

Sweetwater guitarists are impressed with the looks, tone, and performance value that Ovation was able to pack into its CS28P Celebrity Standard Plus. The spruce top has a familiar softwood acoustic response for tapping and chording, but the clarity of the Super Shallow Lyrachord composite body is unique among acoustics at this price. The satin-finished neck with rosewood fretboard feels fast and comfortable in the hand, and the rounded body back has no sharp edges to bite back when you dig into it.

Onboard electronics and tuner for stage and studio convenience

The Celebrity Standard Plus's under-saddle Slimline pickup is made up of six discrete piezo elements to capture a balanced image of the whole instrument. This pickup feeds into an Ovation OP-4BT preamp with three-band EQ and volume controls to help you dial in your tone from the stage. Practical features like a low-battery light and onboard tuner will keep you sounding your best at every gig.
