The CE44P Elite Plus FES is a really interesting blend of Ovation's signature comfort and surprisingly refined acoustic qualities. The flamed top adds a touch of elegance, and the pickup system is genuinely usable for stage work. It's a great choice for players who want a comfortable, amplified acoustic with a distinctive look and a brighter, more projected voice than a traditional dreadnought.

Frequently Asked Questions
Lyrachord is designed for enhanced projection and clarity, but it has a slightly less complex, 'woody' tone than solid wood backs and sides.
It's versatile enough for both; while it won't have the nuance of a high-end condenser mic, it delivers a clean, usable signal for recording acoustic tracks.
The Nato neck has a comfortable, medium-slim profile – it’s a bit easier to play than many guitars with thicker, vintage-style necks, making it accessible for a wide range of players.
