Ovation CS24-5 Celebrity Standard Acoustic Electric Guitar (Black)

The Celebrity Standard guitar has the classic mid depth Lyrachord cutaway body with a solid spruce top featuring quartersawn scalloped "X" bracing. We reviewed earlier Ovation bracing patterns extensively to arrive at this remarkable new design, which borrows from the past and is voiced for the present with natural tone and optimal response and power. Together, body and top create the classic Ovation sound, resonating with full projection, remarkable note clarity and balance, and nuanced tonal complexity. The spruce top also has an elegant pearloid rosette, ivory white binding and beautiful gloss finish. Other premium features include an effortlessly playable neck with a natural satin finish and rosewood veneer headstock, 20-fret bound rosewood fretboard with pearloid microdot inlays, and a rosewood bridge. For great live sound, the CS24 features an Ovation slimline pickup and OP-4BT preamp system. The popular OP-4BT preamp features 3 band EQ with +/-12 dB control over the bass, midrange, and treble frequencies, and a handy battery status light. An accurate and easy-to-use onboard chromatic tuner works equally well for standard, open, and altered tunings.
