The Celebrity Elite CE44-RR guitar has the classic mid-depth Lyrachord cutaway body with a solid spruce top featuring the Elite multisoundhole design, which provides clear highs and focused, balanced bass response.

  • As Promised
Color: Ruby Red
My son was very pleased with his new guitar, as was I. The quality of the build was excellent, the action was set correctly, and the packaging was secure. Delivery was on time with no damage to the box or to the guitar. The guitar sounds great. The solid spruce top is appreciated. I am very happy with this purchase. ... show more

  • As Advertised, Sounds Great
Color: Black
This Ovation is what I expected. It arrived in very good shape. I will only point out a couple of minor issues. The "wings are an overlay, not inlay and there were wood burrs on the cutouts like someone did not do a quick sanding to remove them. No problem, they will wear off soon. The strings are thicker than i like so I will be changing them, but I am not sure how that will affect tone. I arrived about 1 note out of tune on each string which means they tune and stretch before boxing which is fine if the guitar is not sitting for long, otherwise it could warp the neck so check that when you get out of box. Mine needed only a little set up and the tone is just as expected, clear, bright and full which is an Ovation standard. This is a good guitar as an upgrade for a beginner or if you are taking it on the road. The equalizer does enhance the electronic sound but I don't like the plug hole being on the lower back. It gets in the way when you are using with an amp. You may want to use an L-shapes cord end instead of straight. Overall, I recommend. If you can, try it in a store first. The price is about the same everywhere. I ordered mine from Amazon for convenience mostly. ... show more

  • Ornate hole design
Color: 2-Tone Sunburst
Main reason I got this guitar was that I had read somewhere that the hole design would help reduce the feedback from the amp when compared to a larger round hole type design. I believe it has done that, compared to my Old Guild from the 1970's, it does not feed back as bad. Now my biggest disappointment with this model is the ornate design around the holes. I had always thought it was an inlay type design, but it turns out it is a thin piece of wood that is applied to the surface of the guitar , I had never seen one of these in the flesh so I did not know about this feature and that is my fault, I am keeping the guitar (I actually have an Ovation with the big single round hole also) and I do like the sound they put out and the narrow neck. My guitar came with what appears to be medium strings and I am not used to that so I will be changing to some light strings. Also, the packaging was a bit scary, just a cardboard box with very thin foam bag around the guitar. ... show more

  • It came tuned in D which was a nice touch as far as keping the strings and neck ...
Color: Black
Having not played guitar for almost ten years, this instrument has brought me nothing but smiles so far. While it is to eatly to tell how durable the ce44-5 is, just picking up this guitar exudes quality (regardless of chinese craftsmanship inconsistencies). It came tuned in D which was a nice touch as far as keping the strings and neck ready to tune up to standard or alternate tunings. D'addario light strings, relatively low action, and excellent sound projection are key points to this design... and, somehow, they managed to add enough texture to the composite back to keep it from sliding off your leg! I've been playing this thing to the point of sore fingers and still can't believe how well it sounds. I'm 6'1" and have fairly large hands. The mid-sized 10" radius fretboard is very nimble and stretching for odd progression is easier than larger necks. It's a 50/50 between chords and picking... and this guitar strikes a great balance. Plugged in is where this really shines. The built in tuner , gain, and EQ are of above average quality. I've recorded with ovations in the past and find their electric tone less overly bass resonant. They are easy to mix with and require less jive on the mixboard. The convenient size, excellent build quality, beautiful looks, and excellent sound make for a guitar than ANYONE would be proud to own and share with others. ... show more

  • Great Nice Guitar for the price
Color: Black
I am impressed with this guitar. I have several Ovations in the higher end price bracket but this guitar was a surprise in the tone play ability fit and finish and intonation is perfect, it has the same feel as my $1500 ovation, The only change I made was to lower the action by removing two shims from the bridge which took all of ten minutes, this really made a huge difference in the play ability and feel. I received the guitar within a week of ordering it and although it doesn't come with a case it was packaged well and had no damage. A case can be bought for $150 or so. This would make a great beach guitar or beginners guitar as well I have been playing for over 40 years and enjoy playing this guitar a lot. ... show more
