A Celebrity Elite: Ovation DNA in a Modern and Accessible Version
The Celebrity Elite series incorporates the hallmarks that have made Ovation unique, notably the Lyrachord back and the "Multi Soundhole" design (multiple soundholes). This approach aims to combine comfort, stability, and efficiency in amplified situations, while maintaining a visually distinctive identity within the range.
For Whom and Which Styles?
This 12-string electro-acoustic guitar is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an expressive instrument for accompaniment and fingerpicking, both unplugged and amplified. It excels in pop, folk, acoustic rock, worship, and all textures where a rich shimmer is desired, with easy access to the upper frets thanks to the cutaway.
Sound Characteristics
The solid spruce top provides clarity, attack, and a good volume reserve, especially appreciated on a 12-string where definition is sought. The profiled X bracing contributes to the balance between bass sustain and mid/high precision, while enhancing responsiveness. The Mid-depth Lyrachord body offers a tight response and controlled projection, ideal for pick playing and dense fingerpicking. When plugged in, the combination of CP-100 Slimline pickup and OP-4CT preamp delivers a stage-ready sound, with an integrated tuner for quick song changes.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To get the best out of this 12-string, opt for a set of 12-string acoustic strings (bronze/phosphor bronze type) suited to your touch. A set of picks in various thicknesses is also useful to adjust attack and brightness according to your style.
