Description

For the player who loves the performance of the Ovation Celebrity Collection, but is looking for an even more inspiring thing of beauty- the Celebrity Standard Exotic is calling your name. The only thing "Standard" is the traditional center sound hole design. Gorgeous exotic woods and stunning finishes set these instruments apart visually, while pro design and playability sets them apart for the player. An effortlessly playable satin-finished neck, the Super Shallow slim profile, and the 10" radius fretboard combine to make these guitars noteworthy. The center-cut sound hole offsets the shallower body by giving back loud resonance and projection thanks to the scalloped-X bracing support. For live performance, the Celebrity Standard includes an Ovation Slimline pickup and OP-4BT preamp system with a three-band EQ and onboard tuner. Feel is almost everything for progressing players, and the Celebrity Standard Exotic Collection in Super Shallow delivers more than a series of guitars that feel right...they look amazing.

  • The quality for the price is exceptional!
Color: Koa Burst Style: Standard Exotic
Beautiful guitar! Accomplishes deep string tones that are easy to strum and pick. Guitar players in my family love it. I keep it available for them to play when they come to visit. Then we have great music and original tunes for our family gatherings. Some of my grandchildren come over just to play this guitar for us, even though they have their own at home. ... show more

  • Amazing sound
Color: Caribbean Blue Burst Style: Standard Exotic
I have wanted an ovation since the moment I picked one up 30 years ago and finally got this. This sound is incredible! Beautiful finish ! I love this guitar

  • Nice ovation for the money!
Color: Koa Burst Style: Standard Exotic
Nice ovation! First thing I did was adjust the truss rod for an almost flat neck (truss rod easily adjusted). Removed the bridge shim to lower the action to 3/32" at 12th fret. Cut the nut at each string (although, it was already cut from the factory almost perfect). Replaced the strings with silk & steel (my favorite for finger picking). Removed that crappy looking white paper on the inside of the bowl and placed an "ovation like" rosette around the opening.....and wa-la !, looks and plays great!...btw: with the silk & steel strings and proper use of a 10 band eq pedal, it will rival my mahogany acoustic in sound, but the ovation wins for playability and classy looks. ... show more

  • Loose parts inside Guitar
Color: Tiger Eye Brown Quilt Style: Standard Exotic
When opening the box I heard loose parts inside of Guitar, I was able to remove but when playing I heard the A string have annoying buzz. I tried calling Ovation but North America representative, never got a call back. Very frustrated with lack of response. Not wanting to ship unit back I loosened the strings up to see if I could resolve the issue. There was no nut or washer on one side of bridge and the other side had a loose nut. Hand tighten and seems to have resolved. Still not happy with lack of response from Ovation. I do not blame the Reseller as this was factory issue. If Ovation would have called back and let me know if customer fix was proper it would have made for a more pleasant experience. Unfortunately this is what happens when products are shipped and not picked up in a store. Lack of Customer Service. ... show more

  • Beautiful to look at and listen to.

I bought this guitar to gig with. It sounds great through the Fender Acoustisonic 90. It plays great and it’s beautiful. I mean REALLY beautiful!

  • Bad product, worse customer service
Color: Koa Burst Style: Standard Exotic
I ordered a guitar I just wanted to work, the electrical system was defective. The shipper took 130$ off the refund because the original box was not returned.they did not care that the guitar was useless, obviously a scam they frequently utilize on their customers.
