This Ovation Celebrity Deluxe is a solid choice for gigging musicians or anyone wanting a uniquely resonant acoustic with a great amplified voice. The roundback gives it a distinctive vibe and surprisingly good projection, and the onboard preamp makes it stage-ready right out of the box. It's a great value for a well-equipped instrument – a real workhorse for singer-songwriters and rhythm players.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's designed to offer a more balanced tone, closer to the USA-made Ovations – more focused lows and a clearer high end, while retaining that characteristic Ovation warmth.
The 42.8mm nut width provides a comfortable playing experience, but the Nato neck is relatively slim, so players with very large hands might find it slightly snug.
The CP-100 pickup and OP-4CT preamp deliver a clean and natural amplified tone, avoiding the boxy or artificial sound sometimes found on more budget-friendly acoustic-electric guitars.
