Ovation Celebrity Elite Plus CE44P Mid-Depth Cutaway Natural Spalted Maple

Ovation Celebrity Elite Plus CE44P - Distinctive Roundback With Decorative Exotic Wood Top!

The Ovation Celebrity Elite Plus CE44P pairs Ovation's characteristic roundback construction with a selected spalted maple exotic wood top, the signature multi soundholes and a mid-depth Lyrachord body with cutaway. With the Ovation CP-100 Slimline pickup and OP-4CT preamp including a tuner, the acoustic-electric guitar is set up for both unplugged playing and use through amps or PA.

Selected Exotic Wood Top With Scalloped X-Bracing

The distinctive feature of the Celebrity Elite Plus series is the use of visually expressive top woods. The CE44P uses spalted maple, whose characteristic figuring gives each instrument a unique visual identity. Beneath the top you'll find scalloped, quartersawn X-bracing. The crossed braces stabilize the construction while allowing the top to vibrate freely. In this way the CE44P combines Ovation's typical concept with an especially striking top structure.

Mid-Depth Lyrachord Body With Cutaway

The mid-depth Lyrachord body forms the structural basis of the guitar. Instead of a conventional flat wooden back, Ovation uses its trademark rounded Lyrachord roundback. The medium body depth delivers balanced handling while preserving the Celebrity series' distinctive shape. The cutaway also gives you easier access to the upper frets, expanding possibilities for chord work, melodic lines and soloing.

Multi Soundholes And High-Quality Decorative Elements

Instead of a single central soundhole, the Celebrity Elite Plus CE44P features several laterally positioned multi soundholes. This preserves a larger contiguous vibrating area in the center of the top while positioning the openings closer to the player. Multi-hardwood epaulettes frame the openings decoratively. Abalone dot inlays on the fretboard and an abalone body binding complete the elaborately appointed Elite Plus series.

Nato Neck With Ovangkol Fretboard And Bridge

The neck is made of nato and carries an ovangkol fretboard. Ovation also uses ovangkol for the bridge. With a scale length of 643 mm (25.31") the guitar offers a familiar playing geometry, while the nut width of 42.8 mm is designed for the classic six-string acoustic guitar feel. Oil-sealed Ovation tuners maintain string tuning. Gold-colored hardware and a gold Ovation logo add additional visual accents.

CP-100 Slimline Pickup And OP-4CT Preamp

For electro-acoustic signal transmission the CE44P is equipped with an Ovation CP-100 Slimline pickup. The slim pickup sits at the bridge and feeds the signal to the integrated OP-4CT preamp. A built-in tuner lets you check tuning directly on the instrument. That readies the Celebrity Elite Plus CE44P for rehearsals, recording and live situations, marrying the acoustic roundback construction with practical stage electronics.
